A light, well-proportioned two-bedroom retirement apartment set on the top floor of the popular Bluestone Court development. The living room offers room for both seating and dining around an electric feature fireplace, while the modern kitchen includes integrated appliances for low-maintenance day-to-day living. The main bedroom benefits from extensive built-in wardrobes and the contemporary bathroom has a rainfall shower and modern sanitaryware.
Bluestone Court is designed for independent retirement living with an active resident calendar, secure entry, landscaped communal gardens, residents' lounge, laundry, lift to all floors and a visitors' suite. On-site parking and mobility scooter storage are available subject to the House Manager's conditions. The apartment is offered chain free and provides approximately 655 sq ft of accommodation — suitable for those wanting a manageable, lock-up-and-leave home.
Practical points to note: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity (no communal gas). The lease has about 105 years remaining and there is an annual ground rent of £540, which some buyers will consider high. The local area shows higher-than-average recorded crime — worth reviewing for personal comfort — while mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are average.
In short, this apartment will suit a downsizer seeking low-maintenance retirement living with communal support and social opportunities, good internal storage and pleasant garden views towards Glastonbury Tor. Buyers seeking lower running costs or petrol/gas heating should factor in the electric heating and service charges when considering the purchase.
