Summary - WILLOW COURT 72 ACKENDER ROAD ALTON GU34 1JW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Purpose-built retirement living with on-site manager and communal facilities.
Second-floor two-bed retirement apartment with lift access
A bright two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Willow Court, a McCarthy & Stone development designed for independent living. The block offers a lift to all floors, a resident Development Manager, 24-hour emergency Appello system and video entry linked to residents’ TVs for added peace of mind. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite and laundry room, useful for regular socialising and visiting family.
The apartment benefits from cavity and loft insulation and double glazing, helping with warmth and running costs, and has no flood risk. The layout is traditional and practical with an entrance hall, medium living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom — suitable for downsizers who want a comfortable, low-maintenance home with occasional overnight guests.
Important costs and tenure details are clear: leasehold for the original 125-year term from 1999 (about 98 years remaining), service charge £4,407.84 pa and ground rent £792.85 pa. Service charge is above average and ground rent is relatively high; buyers should budget for these ongoing costs and check whether any Event Fees apply when purchasing.
The building sits in an affluent, self-sufficient retirement area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but recorded local crime is above average. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may affect energy costs and preferences. Overall, this is a practical, well-serviced retirement apartment for someone prioritising onsite support and communal amenities over lower running costs or a private garden.
