This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Fitzford Lodge offers low-maintenance retirement living a short level walk from Tavistock’s town centre. Positioned at the rear of the building, the home overlooks attractive communal gardens and was originally a show apartment, so fittings are modern and well-presented. The living/dining room has a Juliette balcony and the kitchen includes integrated appliances for easy living.
The development provides retirement-focused amenities including an Owners’ Lounge, on-site Lodge Manager, 24-hour Careline, guest suite and regular social events — useful for buyers seeking companionship and reassurance. Heating is via the development’s ground-source heat-pump/community scheme, which is energy-efficient but run through the communal service.
Practical considerations are important: the property is leasehold (997 years remaining) and sold with probate granted and no onward chain. Service charges are significant (£4,843.07 for 2025, includes water) and ground rent is £625 per year; parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a medium flood risk in the area. These costs and limitations are common in managed retirement schemes and should be factored into affordability and future plans.
