Summary - 25 HAMPTON PLACE SOUTHAMPTON SO15 5SB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, low-maintenance first-floor flat with parking and communal facilities.
Secure gated retirement development with EV and pedestrian gates
A secure, purpose-built retirement apartment in a gated McCarthy & Stone development, this first-floor one-bedroom home offers comfortable, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. The bright sitting/dining room opens to a Juliet balcony, and the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances. Residents benefit from landscaped communal grounds, a club lounge, guest suite and lifts to all floors.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, electric vehicle gate, 24-hour emergency call system and an on-site House Manager (office hours 8:00–15:00 weekdays). The bathroom is a wet room fitted with a Closomat wash-and-dry toilet, helping accessibility and independent living. The long lease (994 years) and recent construction (2019) reduce immediate major maintenance uncertainty.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with a relatively high ground rent (£586) and electric room heaters as the primary heating source, which can increase running costs. The House Manager is present only during weekday office hours and the surrounding area records higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall, the apartment suits downsizers or retirees seeking a secure, modern base with on-site support and visitor facilities. Early viewings are recommended for those prioritising accessibility, convenience and a community-focused development.
