Occupying arguably one of the finest positions within the ever-popular Brunel Court, this exceptional first-floor retirement apartment enjoys a wonderfully convenient location in the very heart of Portishead.  Just moments from Waitrose, where residents can enjoy a leisurely coffee, lunch or everyday shopping, and only a short stroll from the charming Victorian High Street with its independent shops, cafés and amenities, the apartment offers an enviable lifestyle where everything is quite literally on your doorstep.

One of the apartment's standout features is its delightful private west-facing balcony, enjoying a sunny aspect overlooking the beautifully maintained communal gardens and the broad pedestrian walkways leading between Waitrose and the High Street. It provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, al fresco dining or simply sitting back and enjoying the ever-changing scene as people stroll by. Whether watching the world go by, enjoying a good book in the sunshine, or sharing a meal with family and friends, this attractive outdoor space is sure to become a favourite place to unwind.

Constructed by the renowned McCarthy & Stone, Brunel Court is a well-established and professionally managed retirement development comprising 68 apartments arranged over four floors. Residents benefit from a welcoming and secure environment, together with excellent communal facilities including a residents' lounge, laundry room and beautifully maintained gardens.

For additional peace of mind, a Development Manager is based on site and can be contacted from various points within each apartment in the event of an emergency. During periods when the Development Manager is off duty, a 24-hour Appello emergency call system is available. Residency is restricted to purchasers aged 60 years or over, or, in the case of a couple, where one resident is over 60 years and the other is at least 55 years of age.
