Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with patio access
A one-bedroom ground-floor retirement apartment in Hillbrook Court, set in Sherborne’s historic town with nearby shops and rail links. The flat has patio-door access to communal gardens and benefits from lift access, a resident development manager, a 24/7 emergency call system and a guest suite — practical features for independent retirement living.
Internally the layout is traditional with an entrance hall, lounge and compact kitchen. The home is small (approx. 416 sq ft) and uses electric storage heaters with double glazing; it suits a single person or couple looking to downsize rather than someone seeking large living spaces.
Shared facilities include a residents’ lounge, communal laundry and off-street parking. The property is leasehold (125 years from 2021, c.120 years remaining), with an annual service charge of £2,558.76 and ground rent of £240 — factor these running costs into your budget.
Notable practical drawbacks: broadband speeds reported as slow and heating is electric storage -- both may affect running costs and comfort. The property is for purchasers aged 60 or over and is managed within a communal retirement development, so prospective buyers should check any age or event fee conditions before committing.
