Summary - CHARLOTTE COURT FLAT 20 MERDON AVENUE CHANDLER'S FORD EASTLEIGH SO53 1TZ
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low‑maintenance one-bedroom home near shops and bus routes.
Purpose-built retirement block for over‑55s
Quiet, low‑maintenance living in a purpose-built retirement block close to Chandler’s Ford town centre. This one-bedroom flat occupies a modest footprint (about 514 sq ft) within a well‑kept two‑storey brick development, with communal gardens and resident parking. The reception room benefits from large glazed doors that bring good natural light; the bedroom includes fitted wardrobes for easy storage. Double glazing and electric storage heaters keep the home warm without the complexity of gas systems.
The property is designed for over‑55s and offers straightforward, practical accommodation: separate kitchen with integrated appliances, sitting room, double bedroom and bathroom with shower over bath. It is offered chain‑free and on a long lease (999 years from 1/11/85), with an approximate balance of the long lease remaining and a monthly maintenance charge of £125 (around £1,500 annually) covering communal upkeep.
This flat suits downsizers seeking a manageable home close to shops, bus routes and local amenities. The communal grounds and parking add convenience, while the compact layout keeps running costs lower. Note the heating is via electric storage heaters — practical but more costly than gas in some seasons — and the interior shows dated finishes that would benefit from cosmetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.
Overall, the apartment presents a sensible, low‑maintenance retirement option with long lease security and good local links. Buyers wanting a ready‑to‑move‑into retirement base will appreciate the location and communal setting; those seeking contemporary open‑plan living or gas central heating should factor in potential refurbishment and running‑cost differences.
