Property Summary
Full Details
Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this second-floor dual aspect apartment in the highly regarded Sandringham Court development in Avon Road, Charminster, Bournemouth, BH8.
This friendly and welcoming development comprises 35 flats and is restricted to residents aged 60 and over. Unlike many traditional retirement developments, Sandringham Court offers a more vibrant atmosphere, with hotel-style wide hallways and the convenience of direct access to each apartment without passing through a communal lounge.
A particularly attractive feature is that each flat is permitted to have its own washing machine within the kitchen, removing the need for a shared laundry room and rota system.
Development & Communal Facilities
The well-maintained, south-facing grounds provide both resident and guest parking. Bench seating and well-manicured plants and shrubs make this a pleasant outdoor communal space in warmer months of the year.
Over the past 35 years, Roberts have predominantly sold properties within Sandringham Court to younger retirees seeking an active lifestyle, with the reassurance of future-proofed accommodation should needs change.
Notably, service charges have reduced by approximately 15% over the past financial year - a positive factor when compared with similar age-restricted developments.
Additional features include
-Secure electric fob-entry system
-Recently improved communal hallways
-Residents' function room with kitchen (ideal for family visits and events)
-Guest suite available by prior booking
-Quiet upper-floor reading room with book selection
-An active community of fellow residents but the ability to easily not participate in social events
-Unlike similar developments, the communal residents lounge is away from the entrance and hallways
(Not everyone will choose to greet fellow residents as they come and go from their home!)
The Apartment
This particular flat features a rare dual aspect with both side aspect windows as well as a desirable southerly aspect. With natural light aplenty windows from the apartment enjoys a sunrise to sunset vista partly overlooking the communal grounds.
The entrance hallway benefits from two generous storage closets including an airing cupboard.
The lounge/diner features an attractive bay window, ideal as either a small dining area or a reading nook. An archway leads into a modern kitchen, complete with:
- Space for electric oven
- Space for washing machine
- Space for a tall fridge/freezer
- Plenty of storage & worktop space for utensils and equipment
- Splash back tiling
With neutral décor throughout and excellent natural light, the apartment offers a bright and welcoming feel.
Lifestyle Appeal
While downsizing from a larger home will naturally require a reduction in furniture and possessions, this apartment presents a wonderful opportunity for a fresh start and a low-maintenance lifestyle within a secure and sociable community.
