Summary - 11, Garnier Drive, EASTLEIGH SO50 6HE
2 bed 2 bath Retirement Property
Spacious retirement living with wellness facilities and sunny balcony.
Large first-floor apartment with leafy rear garden and woodland views
Set in a quiet corner of Bishopstoke Park, this unusually large first-floor retirement apartment feels like a village home with leafy, rear-garden and woodland views. The dual-aspect living/dining room opens onto a west-facing balcony perfect for afternoon sun; fitted shutter blinds add privacy and style. The kitchen is generous enough for a dining table or a movable island, giving practical space for everyday cooking and entertaining.
Both bedrooms are very large doubles with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room; the second bedroom has a dressing room that could double as a study and links to a Jack & Jill bathroom — convenient for guests or visiting family. A stairlift has been fitted to the stairway, making first-floor access straightforward despite there being no passenger lift.
Residents have access to the development’s wellness facilities, restaurant, salon and landscaped grounds, with optional care and housekeeping packages available if needs change. Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 117 years remaining, an annual ground rent currently £500 (doubling every 25 years), a substantial service charge (circa £8,285.28 pa) and a deferred sinking fund contribution of 4% on sale. There may be occasional background aircraft noise due to proximity to Southampton Airport.
This home will suit buyers seeking spacious, low-maintenance retirement living within a well-serviced community — those who value generous internal space, communal amenities and woodland views, and who are comfortable with the running costs and leasehold terms described.
