Set within a well-kept, age-exclusive development, this first-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living close to Alton town centre. The flat has been updated with a refitted wood-effect kitchen and a white shower room; double glazing and electric storage heaters are installed throughout. A stair lift provides step-free access to the first floor, and a Tunstall calling system, pullcords and an automatic front door release add practical safety features.
The position overlooks colourful communal gardens and includes residents’ parking a few yards away. Local amenities are within easy walking distance: health centre, pharmacy, shops, Waitrose and Alton station with a direct line to London Waterloo. The development also benefits from communal facilities including a residents’ lounge and estate manager nearby.
Important practical considerations: the lease will be approximately 59 years on completion. That level of remaining term may restrict mortgage options and could require a lease extension for some buyers. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which typically have higher running costs than gas systems.
This property suits a purchaser aged 60+ seeking a manageable, chain-free home in a pleasant communal setting. It offers immediate occupation potential and scope for further cosmetic improvement, but buyers should check finance options and the implications of the lease length before committing.
