This renovated two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits within Homedale House, a McCarthy & Stone retirement development designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The flat offers a practical layout with a bright lounge, fitted kitchen, principal bedroom with en suite, and garage — useful for storage or parking. Communal facilities include gardens, a lounge shared with Homeoaks, laundry room, guest suite and parking for visitors, plus a Development Manager and 24/7 emergency call system for added peace of mind.
Important lease and cost details affect suitability: there are around 55–56 years remaining on the lease, and lenders may refuse to lend because of the short term remaining. Service charge and ground rent are substantial for the development and will be ongoing — factor these into affordability calculations if you plan to buy as a mortgage purchase rather than cash.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the property is leasehold with a minimum resident age of 60. The apartment has been newly renovated, so it’s ready to move into with modern finishes, but prospective buyers should confirm heating performance and review the lease, service charge breakdown, and any event fees before committing.
For a downsizer seeking a secure, managed retirement setting close to Bournemouth amenities, this apartment offers convenience and community. However, buyers reliant on mortgage finance or seeking long lease security should obtain lender confirmation and legal advice early.
