This top-floor retirement apartment in Berryfield Court is designed for independent over-60s seeking a low-maintenance, ready-to-move-into home. The flat is offered with furniture and benefits from lift access, a generous 22ft open-plan lounge/diner and a double bedroom with built-in storage. Practical extras include residents’ parking, communal gardens and an electric scooter charging point.
The building provides on-site support and communal facilities suited to older residents: a residents’ lounge, laundry room, house manager, guest flat (additional charge) and an emergency alarm system. The property has an Energy Performance Certificate of B and a reasonable lease length (106 years), making it straightforward for buyers looking for security without major upfront works.
Be aware of the regular ownership costs. The service charge is approximately £3,575 per year with the next review due in February 2026, and ground rent is £395 per year (next review 2029). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas alternatives. The home is leasehold and listed with a medium flooding risk — both factors to consider when arranging finance or insurance.
Located on Bursledon Road in Old Hedge End, the development sits close to local shops, bus routes and healthcare services. For buyers seeking a comfortable, community-focused retirement base with easy access to local amenities, this apartment presents a practical, move-in option with clear ongoing costs and modest maintenance requirements.
