Summary - Flat 32, Homestream House, Mill Bay Lane RH12 1SS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Managed development with lift, guest suite and 24-hour emergency system.
Top-floor one-bedroom with woodland and mill outlook
A top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with pleasant woodland outlook and distant views towards Provender Mill. The flat sits within a McCarthy & Stone purpose-built block with a lift to all floors, a Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system and communal facilities including a residents' lounge, laundry and a guest suite.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 386 sq ft) and suits single occupancy or a couple seeking low-maintenance living. The property benefits from a long lease (125 years from 1987; c.112 years remaining) and clear tenure details. Note that heating is via electric storage heaters and mains electricity; there is a communal satellite dish with additional fees.
Practical costs and condition points to consider: the current service charge is £2,883.20 per year and ground rent £439.30. The kitchen shows 1980s fittings and tile backsplash and would likely benefit from updating. The development operates an age restriction (minimum age 60, or one 60/other 55) and the surrounding area records higher crime levels than average.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers and retirees seeking a managed development with on-site support and social facilities. It offers immediate occupancy potential for someone content with a smaller footprint and prepared to budget for service charges and occasional updates.
