Built in 2020, the apartment benefits from lifts to all floors, communal lounge and gardens, on-site parking and an on-site house manager.
This property is offered chain free and is suitable for purchasers aged over 60 or as a retirement buy-to-let (tenants must be over 60). Practical details to note: the tenure is leasehold with an average ground rent of £495 and electric room heaters as the main heating source, which may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated spaces.
Positioned within walking distance of Beggarwood and Kempshott amenities, the block sits in an affluent, low-crime village setting with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The apartment suits downsizers seeking a modern, manageable home with communal facilities, or investors targeting the retirement lettings market. Overall, a well-presented, easy-to-manage property with clear running-cost considerations and ongoing leasehold obligations.
