This compact one-bedroom apartment in Victoria Lodge is designed for retirement living with practical communal facilities and private garden views. The flat occupies an average-sized 517 sq ft layout offering a bright living/dining room, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and a separate utility area for extra convenience. Its elevated position overlooks maintained communal gardens, providing a calm, private outlook.
The development includes a communal lounge and well-kept private gardens that encourage socialising and outdoor rest. Visitor off-street parking and secure entry add convenience and safety for residents and their guests. The property benefits from double glazing and a modern build date (2007 onwards), so general maintenance is likely lower than in older stock.
Notable practical considerations: the apartment is leasehold (about 106 years remaining) and could incur additional leasehold fees or management charges. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be less efficient and more costly than gas alternatives. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, and prospective buyers should check local safety and security arrangements.
This home suits someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement base near Portswood High Street amenities and good transport links. It offers immediate occupancy potential with modest refurbishment possible to personalise finishes or improve energy efficiency.
