Summary - ROYAL ARCH COURT FLAT 30 EARLHAM ROAD NORWICH NR2 3RU
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Secure, sociable living close to city amenities for downsizers.
Chain-free first-floor retirement flat with cathedral views
Set just off Earlham Road with direct views of St John’s Cathedral, this first-floor retirement apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance living in a secure over-60s development. The L-shaped lounge/diner with Juliet balcony brings in natural light and looks onto communal gardens — a pleasant spot for morning coffee or quieter afternoons. Two double bedrooms include built-in storage in the main bedroom, and the layout is compact and easy to manage at 639 sq ft.
The development is designed for independent retirement living with lift access, an on-site manager, 24/7 emergency call system and an active social programme including coffee mornings and games evenings. Shared facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry room, landscaped communal gardens and off-street parking — useful extras for social life and practical chores.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: heating is by electric storage heaters and windows are double glazed, but running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The property is leasehold with 106 years remaining; annual charges include a service charge of £4,714 and ground rent of £460. The area has excellent mobile and broadband coverage but sits in a neighbourhood assessed as very deprived with a very high local crime rating, which candidates should weigh against the central location and nearby amenities.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize into a secure, sociable setting close to the city centre and health services. It is chain free and ready for occupancy, though buyers who want lower running costs or a modern heating system should budget for upgrades.
