Summary - 17 Royal Lodge, Newbury, GILLINGHAM SP8 4WG
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance home with on-site support and guest accommodation.
One-bedroom first-floor apartment with south‑easterly aspect
A bright, one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Royal Lodge, positioned south‑east for morning sun. The living room has space for dining, a feature electric fireplace and a compact fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and nearby shower room; useful hallway storage completes the layout.
Royal Lodge is built for easy living: a lodge manager available five days a week, a 24‑hour Careline emergency system, owners’ lounge with regular events, guest suite access across the Churchill Living network, and buggy store with charging points. Off‑street private parking and a central town location put shops, services and the station within easy reach.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with central systems. The annual service charge (£3,048.40) and ground rent (£846.47) cover buildings insurance, communal utilities, Careline and maintenance; lease has approximately 111 years remaining. Crime levels are reported as very high in local data, so review personal security considerations despite the site’s entry systems and monitoring.
This apartment is chain free and aimed at those seeking a low‑maintenance, sociable retirement base close to local amenities and transport links. It suits downsizers who value on‑site support and community, while accepting the costs of managed retirement living and electric heating.
