One bedroom retirement apartment with views of historic Bridgnorth from the second floor of this ever-popular riverside block. Facing west this apartment benefits from afternoon sun and being on the second floor it receives lots of natural light.

Built by retirement specialists McCarthy and Stone, Lavington Court takes its name from its historic setting opposite Lavingtons Hole, an excavation in the cliffside undertaken during the English Civil War by Colonel Lavington, whose plan was to blow up the town from beneath, fortunately his plan did not succeed and this second floor one bedroom apartment has fine views across gardens of the Castle Walk, the sandstone cliff upon which the fortifications were built and the Thomas Telford built St. Marys Church, a picturesque outlook available from all the principle rooms, living room, bedroom and kitchen.

This well-presented apartment is available with no onward chain and priced for a swift and trouble-free purchase.

Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £48 (incl. VAT), unless purchasers are in receipt of a gifted deposit of £10,000 or more, in which case the cost of the checks, to include checks on the gifting party (ies) is £52 (incl. VAT) which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable.” We do not receive any of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal for its role in the provision of these checks. We will also require confirmation of where the funding is coming from such as a bank statement with funding for deposit or purchase price and if mortgage finance is required a mortgage agreement in principle from your chosen lender”.
