Large characterful first-floor apartment with gardens and garage, ideal for downsizers..
Exclusive over-55s first-floor apartment, spacious 1,100+ sq ft
A spacious, characterful first-floor apartment set within the prestigious Headbourne Worthy House, designed exclusively for the over-55s. The bright kitchen/dining/sitting room benefits from a double aspect and attractive estate views; a separate living room offers a flexible second bedroom, study or hobby space. The principal bedroom is large and enjoys an en-suite cloakroom, with a further separate bathroom serving the apartment.
Outside, the apartment shares beautifully maintained communal grounds of approximately 10.5 acres, with a private gazebo/summer house, a powered single garage and an additional storage shed. The development also provides communal conveniences including a guest room, estate manager and an emergency alarm system, offering security and peace of mind in a tranquil, semi-rural setting close to Winchester.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 975 years remaining and is offered chain free. Annual service charge is £7,200 (above average) and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The building is a Victorian solid-brick construction with double glazing fitted before 2002, so buyers should note potential insulation and retrofit considerations.
This home will suit downsizers or retirees seeking generous accommodation, communal support and extensive gardens. It provides comfortable, low-stairs living with a degree of period charm, but prospective buyers should factor service charges, tech connectivity and possible insulation works into their plans.
