Sandringham Court, Avon Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8

Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this first-floor, lift-served 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

Lift access and two stairwells

Residents' function room with kitchen (ideal for family visits and events like birthdays)

Guest suite available by prior booking

Quiet upper-floor reading room with book selection


The Apartment

This particular flat enjoys a desirable southerly-easterly aspect, with both windows overlooking the communal grounds and rooftops beyond.

The entrance hallway benefits from two generous storage cupboards. One of which housing the water heater. The old cumbersome hot water economy 7 unit has been removed in favour of the energy efficient water heater now installed giving you hot water as you need it. As a result, the flat has gained significant space in this particular storage 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 an electric oven with a fitted extractor in place.
- Space and plumbing for washing machine
- Space for full height fridge/freezer
- Neutral splashback tiling and designer floor tiles

The modern shower room includes:

- Double shower with electric shower
- Vanity Unit with wash basin and a range of fitted shelving and cupboards
- Matching white suited WC
- Mirror splashback and stylish 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.
