A one-bedroom retirement apartment in Avonbank Lodge, positioned a short walk from Newbury’s town centre amenities. The flat benefits from a separate modern kitchen with integrated appliances, a light-aspect living room, and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom includes mobility-accessible features and generous hallway storage supports daily living.
The development is aimed at over-60s and offers strong on-site support: a daytime Lodge manager, 24/7 Careline monitoring, a communal reception/owners’ lounge with regular events, and a guest suite for visitors. Heating is provided by a communal air-source system, with costs included in the annual service charge.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold (approximately 116 years remaining), with an annual service charge of £3,111.39 and a ground rent of £815.94 (review due 2031). Parking is gated for residents. Broadband speeds are average and the surrounding area reports higher crime levels, which should be considered alongside the site’s security measures.
This flat will suit a retiree or downsizer looking for town-centre convenience, on-site support and low-maintenance living. It is an average-sized property that offers ready-to-use accommodation but is not a low-cost option once service charges and ground rent are taken into account.
