This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment at Kingfisher Court is designed for independent retirement living with low-maintenance comfort and easy access to central Taunton. The living room opens directly onto a private patio, bringing outdoor space to the ground floor, while a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a walk-in wardrobe add everyday convenience.
The development provides on-site support and social amenities: a bistro serving daily meals, homeowners’ lounge with regular events, landscaped gardens, wellness suite, and CQC-registered staff available 24/7. The property is offered through the Older Persons Shared Ownership scheme (no rent payable on the advertised share) and benefits from energy-efficient construction, triple glazing and full-fibre broadband.
Be aware of recurring costs and tenure details before you proceed. The service charge is substantial at £10,013.16 per year and includes one hour of domestic assistance weekly, communal utilities, building insurance and onsite care services. Heating is electric room heaters, which can raise running costs compared with gas. The apartment is leasehold (approximately 997 years remaining) with an annual ground rent of £435.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting with onsite care and amenities, and who prefers low-maintenance living over private house-style independence. The shared ownership model and higher service charge may be offset for some buyers by available entitlements and included services; check eligibility and running-cost estimates before viewing.
