Set beside the River Evenlode, this two-bedroom apartment in Prebendal Court offers independent retirement living with immediate access to onsite communal facilities and care support. The development combines modern Cotswold stone construction with landscaped communal gardens, a residents’ dining room, conservatory, and regular social activities — ideal for someone seeking community and convenience in a picturesque village setting.
Practical comforts include gas central heating, double glazing, an allocated off-street parking space and access to visiting services (hairdresser, beauty salon) plus a minibuses for shopping trips. The apartment’s sitting room and principal bedroom benefit from river views through stone-mullion style windows, delivering natural light and a peaceful outlook.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with 74 years remaining (a known mortgage concern) and a high annual service charge of approximately £7,500. The site is adjacent to a Grade II listed building, which may restrict alterations and complicate some transactions. There is also a reported high flood risk for the area — prospective buyers should obtain specialist advice and appropriate insurance.
This home suits buyers seeking a sociable, serviced retirement community in the Cotswolds who can manage leasehold limitations and higher running costs. If long lease length and flood vulnerability are acceptable or can be mitigated, the property offers comfortable, low-maintenance riverside living with easy local amenities.
