Chain-free over-55s flat with communal gardens and parking — practical, low-maintenance living.
Over-55s first-floor flat with house manager and communal facilities
This first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Chestnut Lodge is designed for over-55s seeking a low-maintenance, secure home close to Southampton amenities. The property benefits from a house manager, communal lounge, laundry room, landscaped gardens and off-street resident parking — useful for independent living with added support nearby. The generous living/dining room and separate fitted kitchen give a comfortable, functional layout for everyday life.
Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating and an integrated oven in the kitchen. The double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and the modern three-piece bathroom includes a generous walk-in shower and heated towel rail for convenience. The apartment is offered chain free and sits on a long lease with 89 years remaining.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,023 per year; purchasers should factor in these recurring costs and possible additional leasehold fees. Heating is electric storage radiators rather than gas, which may affect running costs. The development was built in the 1980s and, while well maintained, some internal decor and fixtures are described as conventional rather than newly renovated.
