About this property
Situated within the popular and well-established Homecourt House retirement development, this one-bedroom second-floor apartment offers an excellent opportunity for those aged 55 and over seeking independent living in the heart of Exeter city centre. Conveniently located within easy walking distance of a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants, healthcare facilities and public transport links, the property benefits from all the advantages of city-centre living whilst enjoying the security and community atmosphere of a dedicated retirement development.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the apartment provides well-proportioned accommodation throughout and presents a fantastic opportunity for a purchaser looking to modernise and create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. Whilst the property is in need of a significant programme of refurbishment and updating, it offers excellent potential and represents an increasingly rare opportunity in such a central location.
The accommodation is accessed via a welcoming entrance hallway, which benefits from a particularly large storage cupboard, providing valuable space for household items, coats and cleaning equipment. The lounge is a comfortable and versatile reception room with ample space for both seating and dining furniture, creating an ideal area for relaxing or hosting visitors. Located off the lounge is the kitchen, which offers scope for modernisation.
The double bedroom is generously sized and benefits from built-in storage, helping to maximise the available floor space. Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, which serves the apartment and offers further potential for improvement.
Residents of Homecourt House enjoy the use of a range of communal facilities designed to support a comfortable and sociable lifestyle. These include a pleasant communal residents' lounge and kitchenette, providing an ideal setting to meet friends and neighbours and take part in organised activities. Outside, the development is surrounded by attractive and well-maintained communal gardens, offering peaceful areas to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
For added convenience, the development benefits from resident off-street parking, whilst a dedicated guest suite can be booked by visiting family and friends for a small charge, making overnight stays both easy and affordable.
The apartment is held on a leasehold basis, with the service charge covering a variety of valuable services and amenities, including water rates and free use of the communal laundry facilities, helping to simplify day-to-day living and providing excellent value for residents.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a retirement apartment in a highly convenient city-centre location, offering excellent communal facilities, a welcoming community environment and the chance to add value through refurbishment.
Please note that an aml fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
