A well-proportioned first-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Yeovil, offered chain-free and designed for over-55s who want town-centre convenience and low-maintenance living. The lift-served block and communal lounge create easy access and social space, while a communal courtyard offers a quiet outdoor area away from the main street. The flat has a generous sitting room, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, fitted kitchen and shower room.
Practical features include double-glazed sash-style windows, modern fitted kitchen and a 104-year lease remaining. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the location suitable for staying connected with family, services and deliveries. Local shops, medical facilities, banks and public transport are all within a short walk, simplifying day-to-day errands.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold retirement property with an average annual service charge of £2,949 and a ground rent of £250. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may affect running costs. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is classified as a very deprived area, so buyers should factor local safety and wider-area environment into their plans.
Overall this apartment is suited to downsizers or retirees seeking a central, low-upkeep home with communal facilities and no onward chain. It offers comfortable accommodation ready to move into, while buyers conscious of running costs and local area issues will want to review service charge accounts and heating costs before committing.
