This bright, newly renovated one-bedroom retirement apartment sits on the second floor of Knights Lodge, a modern development in central Lymington. The open-plan living area and fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances make day-to-day living easy, while a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe provides comfortable sleeping space. The apartment is approximately 585 sq ft and benefits from ground-source heating connected to the communal scheme.
The development is designed for security and community: a 24-hour Careline system, secure video entry, onsite lodge manager (five days a week) and an owners’ lounge hosting regular social events. Owners also have access to a private car park and a Guest Suite for visitors, plus the right to use guest suites at other Churchill Living developments.
Practical costs and constraints are clear. The property is leasehold with a very long lease (about 993–999 years remaining), a service charge of £3,447.30 per year and an annual ground rent of £822.98. Service charges cover heating, building insurance, communal maintenance and the lodge manager; ground rent is reviewed periodically. The development is close to Lymington town centre, transport links and local amenities, but recorded local crime levels are high — security features help mitigate risk.
Overall this apartment suits a purchaser seeking low-maintenance, secure retirement living with communal facilities and easy access to coastal town amenities. Buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge and ground rent when assessing affordability.
