Easy, sociable town-centre living with communal facilities and parking.
Second-floor retirement flat with lift to all floors
A bright, second-floor retirement apartment in Castle Lodge, designed for the over-55 owner who values convenience and community. The sitting/dining room benefits from a feature fireplace and large window; the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the shower room is practical and accessible. Lift access to all floors, a ground-floor owners’ lounge, guest suite and on-site laundry create easy, sociable living without the need to travel.
Practical positives include an allocated residents’ parking area, a large entrance storage cupboard and a return of free parking. The flat is offered with no onward chain and sits close to Chippenham’s shops, medical facilities and transport links — handy for those who want town-centre living with local services on the doorstep.
Material points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with 107 years remaining and likely ongoing service charges for communal services (laundry, lounge, guest suite). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and the local area records a very high crime rate; purchasers should satisfy themselves about connectivity and safety measures.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement apartment that offers social facilities and convenience. It will suit an independent purchaser seeking compact, purpose-built accommodation in Chippenham, but check service costs, heating running expenses and connectivity for your needs.
