A bright first-floor retirement apartment in Pilbrow Court, designed for independent living for over-60s. The layout includes a spacious lounge with double doors into the kitchen and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, all arranged across roughly 506 sq ft. Large PVCu double-glazed windows and storage heaters keep the flat comfortable; a residents’ lift, communal lounge, laundry and landscaped gardens add practical communal amenities.
Occupation is leasehold with around 97 years remaining on a 125-year lease. Annual charges include a service charge of approximately £3,236.62 (covers water, sewage and building insurance) and ground rent of £510.19. There is also an exit fee on future sale calculated at 2% (1% of previous purchase price and 1% of the lower of previous purchase price or current sale price). Purchasers must be aged 60+ (or 60 and 55+ for couples).
Practical considerations: heating is electric storage heaters and there is no gas. The kitchen and bathroom are compact but modern, with a double shower cubicle and built-in oven and hob. The development is aimed at active, independent retirees rather than those needing on-site care. Chain-free sale offers a faster move-in for buyers who meet the age criteria.
This property suits someone wanting a manageable, low-maintenance home close to local amenities in Alverstoke — good transport links, shops and healthcare nearby. Buyers should check lease documents, service charge details and the exit fee with their solicitor before exchange, and arrange their own checks on fittings and services.
