This top-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in an over-55s development in the heart of Chandler’s Ford, a short walk from Fryern Arcade, Waitrose and frequent bus links to Southampton and Winchester. The flat is chain-free and offered with a long lease, making it straightforward to purchase for someone downsizing or seeking a low-maintenance retirement base.
Inside, the traditional layout gives an entrance hall with storage, an open-plan living/dining room, a compact kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe. The building benefits from a secure coded entry, lift access to all floors and well-kept communal gardens — useful for a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle.
Practical considerations are clear: the apartment is small (approximately 330 sq ft) and heated by electric storage heaters, which can be less efficient than gas. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the property is leasehold with a service charge that contributes to communal maintenance.
This home will suit a single buyer or couple looking to downsize into a central, low-crime, well-served retirement location. It offers convenience and long-term security (very long lease) but buyers should factor in service charges, electric heating running costs and limited private parking when assessing affordability.
