Light-filled top-floor apartment in the centre of Romsey with direct views of the Abbey. The open-plan living room with vaulted ceiling and skylight creates an airy social space, complemented by a well-equipped fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms — one with an en-suite — making the layout practical for downsizers or anyone wanting a comfortable town base.
Practical advantages include lift access to all floors, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and 115 years remaining on the lease. The location is unbeatable for town-centre living: shops, cafés, restaurants, bus and rail connections are all a short walk away.
Considerations: the property is leasehold with ground rent (£150 pa) and a notably high annual service charge (£2,476.68 pa) which will affect running costs. There is no private garden and on-street or town-centre parking is limited. The listing notes a high local crime level; prospective buyers should check local policing and security arrangements.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance, centrally located accommodation with strong local amenities and attractive Abbey views. It will particularly appeal to downsizers or investors who value town-centre convenience, but buyers should factor in service charges and limited private outdoor space.
