Set within a purpose-built McCarthy Stone retirement development, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers secure, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. The accommodation includes an entrance hall with large storage, open-plan living/dining room with patio door to a walk-out balcony, a spacious master bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes and en suite, plus a separate shower/bathroom. Communal facilities — homeowners' lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite, laundry room and a resident House Manager — support independent living and social opportunities.
Practical safety features are in place: a camera door entry system, 24-hour Tunstall emergency call system and illuminated switches. Underfloor electric heating and fibre broadband are fitted, and allocated off-street parking is available (permits usually charged annually). The exceptionally long lease (around 990 years remaining) gives long-term security of tenure.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of £3,310.92 and ground rent of £425. Heating is electric underfloor, which can be more costly than gas in colder months. The apartment is compact compared with family homes, so it suits someone seeking downsized, manageable accommodation rather than large living space.
Situated in Dibden Purlieu with easy access to local shops, bus links and the New Forest National Park, the flat suits a buyer wanting independent retirement living with communal support nearby. It also presents a clear option for investors targeting retirement-tenanted stock, given the comprehensive on-site services and low local crime rates.
