This well‑presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within a handsome Regency building set in mature, landscaped grounds tailored for over‑55s. Bright living spaces retain period character — high ceilings and large windows — while the kitchen and bathroom have modern, high-spec fittings and integrated appliances. Underfloor heating ensures comfort year-round and two allocated parking spaces add practical convenience.
The development is age-restricted and benefits from communal services including lift access, gardening and building maintenance. Pets are permitted with permission. The lease started in 2015 and has 189 years remaining; the service charge is £3,679.54 per year, which covers insurance, lift upkeep and communal cleaning.
Buyers should note material running costs: the annual service charge and an above-average council tax band. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which may affect those relying on fast internet. The property is leasehold and marketed specifically for the retirement market, so it’s not suitable for general family purchase without meeting age conditions.
Overall this apartment suits downsizers or retirees seeking a low‑maintenance, characterful home with modern comforts, pleasant communal gardens and convenient parking, close to Christchurch and coastal amenities.
