This penthouse one-bedroom apartment in Knights Lodge offers relaxed, independent retirement living with exceptional river and Solent views. Positioned on the top floor, the property maximises light and outlook and benefits from a lift, communal lounge, landscaped gardens and a lodge manager — practical comforts for day-to-day life.
Internally the flat is well presented with a contemporary kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedroom, a luxury shower room and useful storage off the wide entrance hall. Double glazing and a low-carbon community heating scheme improve comfort and efficiency, while superfast broadband and excellent mobile signal keep you connected.
Practical costs and security are important to note. The long lease (992 years) is a major advantage, but the annual service charge (£3,447.30) and ground rent (£575) are material running costs. The building includes supportive systems — video entry, intruder alarm, 24‑hour call — though local crime statistics are reported as high and should be checked by prospective buyers.
For someone aged over 60 wanting a peaceful base close to Lymington High Street, marinas and local amenities, this apartment is a strong choice: comfortable, sociable communal facilities and outstanding water views. Buyers wanting lower ongoing charges or private outdoor space should factor the service charge and communal nature of the gardens into their decision.
