First floor one bedroom retirement apartment with Juliette balcony overlooking the River Severn

This delightful one-bedroom retirement apartment offers comfort, convenience, and one of the most desirable outlooks in Bridgnorth. Situated on the first floor of Lavington Court, a well-maintained retirement development exclusively for residents aged 60 and over, the property combines independent living with the reassurance of on-site support features.

The standout feature is the Juliette balcony, providing uninterrupted views across the River Severn — perfect for enjoying morning coffee, watching wildlife, or simply relaxing in a peaceful riverside setting.

Inside, the apartment is bright and well-proportioned, with a welcoming living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage, and a modern bathroom. The layout is designed for ease of living, with emergency pull-cords, secure entry, and lift access to all floors.

Built by retirement specialists McCarthy and Stone, Lavington Court takes its name from its historic setting opposite Lavington’s Hole, an excavation in the cliffside undertaken during the English Civil War by Colonel Lavington, whose plan was to blow up the town from beneath, fortunately his plan failed. Lavington Court has a convenient location for access to both local shops and national chain supermarkets that include a Co Op and a Marks and Spencer Foodhall, the conveniently placed bus stops provide access to routes to Wolverhampton, the west midlands, and Kidderminster. Nearby leisure pursuits include the unique Bridgnorth Bowling Club based on the Bylet, an island in the River Severn approached via a bridge. As you would expect Lavington Court has a host of facilities available including a communal lounge for socialising, a laundrette facility, car parking, ornamental gardens and access to the first floor is via a lift conveniently accessed near to the communal lounge and a house manager is on hand to look after day to day running of the block and organise events.

The aspirational market town of Bridgnorth has a wide variety of amenities including well regarded schools for children of all ages, a doctors' surgery, a selection of supermarkets, local and high street shops, pharmacies, opticians, traditional public houses, restaurants, a characterful theatre and petrol stations at vantage points. The town, subject to a siege during the English Civil War, is rich in history and features a castle ruin leaning at an angle greater than the Tower of Pisa, the Cliff Railway that runs between Low Town and High Town is the steepest inland railway in the country.

“We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £48 (incl. VAT), unless purchasers are in receipt of a gifted deposit of £10,000 or more, in which case the cost of the checks, to include checks on the gifting party (ies) is £52 (incl. VAT) which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable.” We do not receive any of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal for its role in the provision of these checks. We will also require confirmation of where the funding is coming from such as a bank statement with funding for deposit or purchase price and if mortgage finance is required a mortgage agreement in principle from your chosen lender”.
