A lovely, spacious apartment for the over 60's in a very convenient location. It has 2 double bedrooms, generous living space and is being sold with no chain.

Overview

This spacious apartment for the over 60's is located in a very convenient part of BS9.

Abona Court was converted to over 60's accommodation in 2006, and has proved to be incredibly popular.
Set over 3 floors, there is a lift within the development so there is easy access to any of the apartments.

This particular flat is on the second floor and has some lovely views over Sea Mills and beyond.
You enter into the hallway and there is ample room here for scooters or wheelchairs if required.
There is a spacious feel throughout the flat and the living room easily accommodates sofas, chairs, dining furniture etc.
The kitchen is separate from the lounge and has some fitted appliances.

There are 2 bedrooms, both of which are good-sized double rooms, and a wet room.
There is an airing cupboard plus an additional cupboard so storage isn't a problem.

The apartment is fitted with pull cords that link to a contact centre that can contact a nominated person or emergency services if pulled.
A site manager visits once a week and is also contactable by phone .

There is a residents room which is where the coffee mornings and social events take place, as well as a communal kitchen and also an en-suite guest room (subject to availability).

Outside

There are communal gardens which all the residents can use, and these are lovely places to sit with friends and family. There are communal washing lines for drying clothes and there is also parking for residents and visitors - this is on a first come, first served basis.

Location

Abona Court is set back off Sea Mills Square on Shirehampton Road. The Cafe on the Square is a great place to have a coffee and meet with people, as is the recently opened Nightingales cafe.
There are 2 convenience stores nearby, and there are regular buses on Shirehampton Road that give access to the surrounding areas.
You are near lots of open green space including the Blaise & Kingsweston woodlands, which are lovely places to explore and get some fresh air.
Sea Mills Surgery on Riverleaze is 0.3 miles away so is very nearby if needed.

We think...

If you're looking for an apartment that allows for independent living, whilst having the comfort of knowing that additional help can be arranged if needed, Abona Court is ideal.
Having shops & cafes within sight is great, and being very close to the bus stops means you can still easily access all that the city has to offer.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 18, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 18, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on October 1, 2016 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
