This one-bedroom, 672 sq ft retirement apartment sits within an established over-55s community in Salisbury, designed for low-maintenance, lock-up-and-leave living. The apartment benefits from modern fitted kitchens, energy-efficient appliances and exceptional insulation that help reduce running costs. Residents have access to communal facilities including an owners' lounge, bistro, gardens and a guest suite for visiting family.
Ownership is shared ownership on a leasehold basis, offering a lower entry price (example shown at £80,000 for the current share) and rent payable on the unsold share. The development includes an on-site community manager and organised social activities, making it straightforward to settle in and meet neighbours. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are reported excellent and fast, supporting online banking, streaming and video calls.
Important practical points: the property carries an average annual service charge of £3,648, and deferred event fees apply — these are material costs that buyers must confirm before committing. The tenure is leasehold and the sale is shared ownership, so buyers should check the lease length, ground rent terms and eligibility rules for over-55s. Local crime is described as high, so review security arrangements and insurance needs despite on-site security features.
Overall this apartment will suit someone seeking a sociable, low-maintenance home close to Salisbury's amenities and transport links, or an investor interested in the specialist retirement market. It’s best for buyers comfortable with shared-ownership mechanics and ongoing service charges, who value community facilities and easy access to shops and public transport.
