Summary - 30 Charlotte Lodge, Archers Road, EASTLEIGH SO50 9AD
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Comfortable, low-maintenance retirement flat near park and shops.
First-floor one-bedroom, Juliet balcony overlooking communal gardens
Set opposite Eastleigh Park, this freshly renovated one-bedroom apartment in Charlotte Lodge offers low-maintenance retirement living with immediate move-in appeal. The first-floor flat has a sunny lounge with a Juliet balcony, a well-equipped modern kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe. Communal facilities include landscaped gardens, a residents’ lounge, buggy charging store and a daily lodge manager for on-site support.
Running costs are partly bundled: water rates and community electricity/heating are included, making budgeting simpler. There is off-street parking for residents and a guest suite available for visitors. The 125-year lease from 2015 (about 115 years remaining) gives long-term security for owners, and the development benefits from recent redecoration and ongoing external maintenance plans.
Buyers should note the material costs: the annual service charge is £3,703.85 and ground rent is £718.40 (review due 2029), which are significant items for pensioner budgets. The property is leasehold and aimed at over-60s (second resident 55+); prospective purchasers should confirm any additional leasehold fees and factor in service-charge variations.
This apartment suits someone seeking an active, social retirement setting close to shops, transport links and parkland, who values convenience and security over large private outdoor space. A straightforward, modern apartment with communal support and clear running-costs to consider before committing.
