This purpose-built first-floor retirement apartment in Northfield Gardens offers low-maintenance, thoughtfully refurbished living close to Taunton town centre. The dual-aspect living/dining room, modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes make it comfortable for everyday living.
Communal facilities add practical value: landscaped gardens, resident and visitor parking, a residents’ lounge, utility room and an on-site guest apartment. A 24-hour Appello careline and site manager provide additional peace of mind for independent retirees.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 58 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders may refuse lending on shorter leases, which can limit purchase options — buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice or consider cash purchase. Heating is electric night storage, which can carry higher running costs than gas alternatives.
Location strengths include quick access to Taunton’s shops, rail station and local amenities, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the local area crime level is reported as high; prospective buyers should verify local safety and suitability for their needs.
Overall, this newly renovated retirement apartment will suit downsizers seeking a ready-to-live-in, low-upkeep home with communal support and easy town access, provided they address lease-length and financing implications beforehand.
