Set within Jubilee Court, this one-bedroom upper-floor apartment offers low-maintenance retirement living close to Bath Road amenities. The development, built in 2003, provides accessible communal facilities including a lounge, laundry, garden, lift and part-time visiting management plus a Careline alarm — appealing for over-60s seeking convenience and community. Resident and visitor parking is available and the site is wheelchair accessible.
The flat measures approximately 495 sq ft and presents an average-sized living space with double glazing and electric storage heating. Practical features include resident parking, communal gardens, guest facilities and regular social activities, making it simple to settle in without major upkeep. Leasehold terms are long (102 years remaining), and council tax is described as affordable.
Notable costs and considerations are the service charge (£3,422 pa) and ground rent (£350 pa), which cover communal maintenance and services; prospective buyers should factor these into affordability calculations. The property is single-bedroom and best suited to a downsizer or retiree looking for a manageable home rather than those needing more space. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be pricier than gas alternatives.
Overall, Jubilee Court suits someone seeking a secure, low-maintenance, community-focused retirement property in a very affluent area, close to local shops, medical services and transport links. The apartment offers straightforward living with accessible communal amenities, but buyers should be comfortable with leasehold costs and the electric heating system.
