Quiet, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment designed for over-55s, positioned in Yeovil town centre with its own private entrance and communal facilities. The layout is traditional and compact (approximately 464 sq ft), with a bright lounge, separate kitchen and a walk-in shower room — suitable for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing convenience.
Practical features include double glazing, a personal alarm system and communal lounge/courtyard for socialising. The property is offered with no onward chain and a long lease (about 105 years remaining), making it straightforward to purchase and move into. The apartment is presented in generally good decorative order but sits within an older, Georgian-revival block built in the early 2000s, so the setting feels established rather than new.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which may affect security and resale prospects. Heating is via electric storage heaters — expect higher running costs than gas-heated homes. This is a leasehold retirement apartment; additional service charges, ground rent or lease pack fees may apply and should be checked before offer.
This property suits a purchaser seeking easy, low-stairs access to town-centre amenities, community facilities and a secure retirement setting. It will appeal to downsizers who prioritise location and communal support but who are mindful of running costs, potential communal maintenance and local area issues. Prospective buyers are advised to arrange a full survey and to verify lease/service charge details.
