This chain-free, ground-floor retirement flat sits in a quiet four-storey block close to Bitterne Park Triangle and Riverside Park. At around 419 sq ft it offers a compact, easy-to-manage layout with an open-plan lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, double glazing and direct access to communal gardens. An on-site manager, security entrance, communal lounge and laundry add everyday convenience and social options.
The flat is best suited to downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home near shops, parks and good local transport links. Electric storage heating and double glazing provide basic thermal comfort, but the property is small and requires acceptance of apartment living. Council tax is very cheap.
Important practical note: the lease has about 58 years remaining. That presents a real mortgage risk — some lenders may refuse to lend unless the lease is extended. Buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice and factor potential lease-extension costs into their budget. Crime statistics in the area are above average, so consider security needs despite the building’s controlled entrance.
Presented in tidy, mainly modern condition for its age (constructed 1983–1990), the flat offers a straightforward move-in or rental opportunity for a buyer able to manage the lease situation. A viewing will show its practical layout and garden access from the living room.
