2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious retirement apartment with extensive communal facilities and lift access.
Rare penthouse with full-width walk-out balcony and far-reaching views
A rarely available penthouse apartment in Bowes Lyon Court, set within Poundbury’s sought-after retirement community. This bright third-floor home has a large living room with two sets of double doors opening onto a substantial walk-out balcony, capturing far-reaching views and afternoon sun. The separate modern kitchen and two double bedrooms, each with walk-in wardrobes, suit those who want generous, easy-to-manage living space.
This Retirement Living Plus apartment includes two modern shower rooms, lift access to all floors, and full communal facilities: restaurant, orangery, homeowners’ lounge, billiard room, guest suite and an on-site wellness offering. The development provides 24/7 careline, CQC-registered staff and one hour of domestic assistance per week included in the service charge, delivering peace of mind and low-maintenance communal upkeep.
Practical considerations are clear and important. The annual service charge is high at £13,924.64 and ground rent is £510 pa; prospective buyers should factor running costs into budgets (some costs may be partly offset by entitlements). The lease has about 116 years remaining. Heating is via the development’s community scheme and the apartment is energy-efficient, built in 2016. Underground parking is by permit (c. £250 pa) but on-street parking nearby is unrestricted.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a sociable, well-resourced retirement setting in Poundbury, those valuing on-site care options and abundant shared amenities. It offers a large, low-maintenance home with substantial communal support, but buyers should be comfortable with service charges and communal arrangements.
