About this listing
Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this second-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)
Guest suite available by prior booking
Quiet upper-floor reading room with book selection

With neutral décor throughout and excellent natural light, the apartment offers a bright and welcoming feel.
Lifestyle Appeal
