A bright, purpose-built two-bedroom apartment in an exclusive over-60s development, offered with no onward chain. The first-floor flat enjoys dual-aspect living, a covered balcony overlooking woodland and practical features such as an integrated kitchen and underfloor heating throughout. Communal facilities — bistro, residents’ lounge, conservatory, woodland walks and buggy charging — support an independent, sociable lifestyle with on-site reassurance.
The development was built in 2017 and benefits from a secure entry, lift access, an on-site house manager (weekday daytime) and a 24-hour emergency call system. The apartment’s layout includes a large reception hall with storage, two double bedrooms (master with ensuite wet room) and a separate shower room, making it well-suited to downsizers seeking comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with around 113 years remaining, an above-average service charge covering communal services (including a couple of hours’ home help), and a modest annual ground rent. Broadband speeds are reported as slow — important for those reliant on fast internet — but mobile signal is excellent and parking is available off-street.
This apartment will appeal to buyers looking for a secure, community-focused retirement setting near Ringwood and the New Forest, offering easy access to local shops via the minibus service. It is not a project property — it is ready to live in — though buyers should budget for ongoing service charges that support the onsite care and communal amenities.
