Light, airy and compact, this one-bedroom retirement flat sits on the first floor and offers manageable living close to Waterlooville town centre. The lounge benefits from double-aspect windows that bring generous daylight into the main living space, and the bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe for practical storage. The kitchen is efficiently arranged and the shower room is separate, making the layout straightforward for single occupants or those seeking low-maintenance accommodation.
The flat is part of a purpose-built, well-kept retirement block with communal gardens and parking. Double glazing and communal upkeep reduce external maintenance, though the property relies on electric storage heating rather than gas central heating. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, helping residents stay connected and access local amenities nearby.
Important financial and practical considerations affect suitability. The lease has 59 years remaining — short enough that many mortgage lenders may refuse lending, which will restrict purchase options. Annual costs include a relatively high service charge (£2,594.94) and ground rent (£397.68), both of which should be factored into affordability calculations.
Other practical points: the area records very high crime levels, so prospective buyers should assess personal security and community support. The flat is offered with no forward chain, which may suit buyers wanting a faster completion.
