A well-presented first-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Yeovil, offered chain-free and served by a lift. The bright sitting room opens to a Juliet balcony, and a fitted kitchen and practical bathroom complete the accommodation. The block provides communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room and visiting house manager for added support.
Practical details are clear: the lease has about 104 years remaining, the property uses electric storage heating, and double glazing was installed post-2002. Monthly costs include a service charge (approx. £3,391 per year) and ground rent (£349 per year); council tax is moderate. These running costs suit buyers who prioritise low-maintenance living in a centrally located retirement scheme.
Location is a major convenience with shops, banks, medical services and public transport nearby. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are good, making it easy to stay connected. However, the immediate area records higher crime and notable deprivation levels, and the neighbourhood is described as a transitional Eastern European area with constrained rental demand — factors buyers should weigh alongside central access and on-site support.
Overall this apartment will suit an over-60 buyer seeking a low-upkeep, centrally located retirement base with communal services and lift access. It offers sensible living space and reliable communal management but comes with above-average service charges and local area challenges that affect long-term outlook.
