Set on the second floor with a private balcony overlooking King’s Pond, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment is a compact, well-presented home ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The layout gives independent access to each room from the inner hall; the sitting/dining room opens onto the balcony, and the bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes. An allocated parking space plus visitors’ parking adds everyday convenience.
Practical running costs and tenure particulars are clear: a long lease (187 years remaining) and a service charge averaging £2,705 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and windows were replaced with uPVC double glazing in or after 2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Location is a standout: a short walk to Alton mainline station and adjacent Waitrose, with the town centre, shops and amenities within easy reach. The communal grounds are landscaped and there is direct pedestrian access to the footpath alongside King’s Pond for local walks and green views.
A material drawback is the high flood risk due to proximity to King’s Pond; buyers should obtain flood cover and check insurance costs. The apartment is compact (around 482 sq ft) and uses electric heating, which can be more expensive than gas. These points temper the otherwise convenient, low-maintenance appeal.
