Sandringham Court, Avon Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this ground-floor 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 25 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 enjoys a desirable southerly aspect, with both windows 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:

- Integrated oven and hob
- Space for washing machine
- Space for a tall fridge/freezer
- Plenty of storage & worktop space for utensils and equipment
-Tiled flooring

The modern shower room includes:

-Double shower cubicle
- Glass screen and electric shower
- Low-level WC & pedestal wash hand basin
-Fitted mirror and tasteful 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.
