1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-presented one-bed retirement flat — lift access, communal facilities, short lease.
First-floor retirement flat with lift access and communal gardens
Light, practical and purpose-built for older owners, this first-floor retirement flat in Rosecott offers an easy, low-maintenance home close to Horndean village amenities. The bright lounge with electric feature fireplace leads to a modern kitchen; a large double bedroom has built-in storage and the shower room provides a walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Emergency pull cords are fitted in all main rooms and the block has a house manager, residents' lounge, laundry and a chargeable guest suite.
The flat is on the first floor with lift access and sits within well-kept communal gardens. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent. There is no flood risk and council tax is low, which helps running costs. The property is suitable for someone seeking independent retirement living with communal support nearby and easy access to local shops, pubs and regular bus links to Waterlooville and Portsmouth.
Important: the lease has approximately 61 years remaining. This short lease is a material drawback — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, which will limit purchase options to cash buyers or those able to obtain specialist lending. Service charges are around £667.36 per quarter (c. £2,669.44pa) and ground rent is £175pa. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal or mains gas system, which can increase running costs compared with centrally heated properties.
Overall this is a well-presented, ready-to-move-into retirement flat with useful on-site support and communal facilities. It will appeal to downsizers who need accessible living and are able to manage the lease-length issue and ongoing service costs.
