A compact first-floor retirement apartment in Homecombe House, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The one-bedroom layout (around 350 sq ft) makes efficient use of space and opens onto a balcony with pleasant views over well-kept communal gardens.
The building provides useful communal facilities for over-60s including a residents' lounge, laundry and a guest room for visitors. Practical details to note: the home uses electric storage heating and is leasehold, with glazing present but installation date unknown. The block dates from 1976–82, so there may be ongoing maintenance considerations typical of that era.
This property suits a downsizer or retiree seeking low-mobility, community-focused living close to local shops, transport and amenities. There is no flood risk, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is inexpensive. However, the accommodation is small and the surrounding area is classified as deprived, so buyers should weigh location and size against price and communal benefits.
