Set within The Cooperage, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance, recently renovated living for residents aged 60 and over. The flat has a new kitchen (May 2024) and a new shower room (Dec 2022), bright south‑westerly aspect over landscaped communal gardens, and no onward chain — ideal for someone seeking a move-in ready retirement base in Alton town centre.
Practical comforts include double glazing, generous built-in storage and resident parking on the communal forecourt. The building provides communal amenities, a House Manager, on-site laundry, and a 24‑hour emergency Careline for added reassurance.

Notable considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (approx. £3,461.64). The apartment is on the second floor and accessed by stairs, which may not suit those needing lift access. Local area crime statistics are reported as high; buyers should factor this into their decision and carry out local checks.
This apartment suits downsizers or retirees who prioritise a sociable, managed community close to shops, transport links and local amenities. It offers a comfortable, low‑maintenance base with modern fittings, but buyers should budget for ongoing service costs and consider mobility needs given the stair access and electric heating system.
