This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment sits in a well-kept Cotswold-stone development overlooking the Evenlode valley. The large lounge/diner opens via French doors onto a quiet patio with fine countryside and river views, and there is a reserved off-street parking space close to the entrance. Communal gardens and a conservatory provide pleasant outdoor and social space, and residents may use facilities and events at the adjacent listed Old Prebendal House.
Internally the flat offers two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, an en suite shower to one bedroom and a main bathroom with bath and shower over. The fitted kitchen and boiler/radiator heating run on mains gas; double glazing is fitted (installation date unknown). A 24-hour nurse call system is installed across the development, reflecting the retirement focus and providing added reassurance.
Important considerations are stated plainly: the building has listed status which may restrict changes and could complicate future alterations or transactions. The lease has 87 years remaining; a new, extended lease will be provided by the vendor. Service charge is circa £6,336 per year (£7596 quoted elsewhere) and council tax sits above average, so running costs are higher than typical apartments. The site is in a high flood risk area — this is a material issue for insurance and long-term resilience that prospective buyers should investigate.
Overall this property will suit a purchaser seeking a low-maintenance, sociable retirement setting in a prosperous village location, who values rural views and on-site support. Buyers who need long lease terms, low service costs, or flood-free ground should take the noted drawbacks into account and seek specialist advice before committing.
