This one-bedroom retirement flat occupies a second-floor position in the heart of Alverstoke Village, with lift access and communal facilities including laundry and casual off-street parking. The accommodation has been cared for and benefits from an upgraded kitchen and bathroom, PVCu double glazing and electric storage heating — a straightforward, low-maintenance choice for an over-60s buyer seeking village living and easy access to local shops and services.
Practical features include a secure communal entrance with an emergency call facility, a compact but light lounge, built-in bedroom storage and a bathroom with bath and shower attachment. The building was constructed in the 1980s and presents as a conventional, manageable retirement block with established maintenance arrangements.
Important lease information is a material consideration: 57 years remain on the lease. Many mortgage lenders have minimum lease-length requirements, so buyers should check lending options carefully — purchase may be limited to cash buyers or specialist lenders. There is a biannual service charge (£1,662.06) and ground rent (£207.46 every six months), and an exit fee of 1% payable on sale; confirm exact figures with the managing agent before exchange.
The flat is offered chain-free and suits someone prioritising a village centre location, lift access and low-overhead living rather than a large footprint or private outdoor space. Buyers should also note the electric heating (storage heaters) and absence of gas, and should arrange their own tests on services and energy costs.
