Apartment 48 at Kingfisher Court is a modern, purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment designed for easy, low-maintenance living. The open-plan living area and large windows bring natural light into the 598 sq ft layout, while a French balcony and views over landscaped communal gardens create a pleasant outlook. The bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and additional storage is provided in a utility cupboard.
The development is aimed at older residents seeking support and companionship: an on-site Estate Manager, 24-hour staffing, tailored domestic support and personal care (available), and a chef-run bistro with changing seasonal menus. Shared-ownership options are offered — for example a 50% share with rent example of £105,000/£241 pcm, or a 75% share at £157,500 — and the long lease (about 987 years remaining) provides ownership security.
Practical considerations include electric room heaters as the main heating source and a below-average service charge of £241 pcm. The property is leasehold and part of a communal retirement scheme, so residents should be comfortable with shared facilities and some ongoing service fees. The area is classified as having higher deprivation locally, but the building is in Taunton with good mobile signal and fast broadband, close to shops and amenities.
This apartment suits someone downsizing who values on-site care options, communal facilities and modern finishes, and who prefers a secure, low-maintenance home with social opportunities. It is not ideal for buyers seeking independent, self-contained houses, gas central heating, or a completely private garden space.
