This first-floor retirement flat in Mowbray Court offers low-maintenance living in a well-managed, community-focused development. The apartment has a generous double bedroom, a lounge/diner, and access to extensive communal gardens and residents’ facilities — ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing social and support networks.
Residents benefit from on-site amenities including a communal lounge, laundry with Miele appliances, guest suite, lift access and a resident manager Monday–Friday, plus a 24-hour emergency call system. The development’s location provides easy, level access to local shops, cafés, GP services and the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (100 years remaining) with an annual service charge of around £2,270 and a ground rent of £730. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the flat is compact (c.495 sqft), so the accommodation suits a single occupant or couple seeking straightforward, maintenance-light living rather than extensive living or entertaining space.
No onward chain and a Right to Manage company give residents influence over running the scheme. The age restriction (minimum 60, or one partner 55 with the other 60+) should be noted. Overall this is a sensible, community-rich retirement option close to Exeter amenities, with clear ongoing costs and limited scope for major internal remodelling.
