Set within a well-maintained, purpose-built development for the over-60s, this one-bedroom apartment offers a spacious 657 sq ft layout and contemporary finishes from 2021. Residents benefit from an on-site House Manager, a 24-hour emergency call system, communal lounge, guest suite and landscaped gardens — practical comforts that support independent retirement living.
The apartment is leasehold (999 years from 03/11/2022) with an annual service charge of £4,003.79 covering external maintenance and communal services. Heating is electric with room heaters; this keeps installation simple but may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes.
Private off-street parking can be acquired separately for a one-off fee of £7,500 and pets are permitted. Lifts and wheelchair access make the development easy to navigate, while Romsey town centre and local green spaces are within short reach for shopping, leisure and scenic walks.
This property suits someone seeking low-external-maintenance retirement living with modern accommodation and onsite support. Buyers should note the leasehold status, the above-average service charge and electric heating when assessing long-term costs.
