This two-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment at Charlotte Lodge offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Eastleigh town centre and parkland. The apartment benefits from a Juliet balcony, two good-sized bedrooms, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and communal facilities designed for owner comfort and safety.
The development is heated by a super-efficient ground source heat pump (included in the service charge) and provides communal features many buyers value: an on-site lodge manager five days a week, owners’ lounge with regular social events, guest suite for visitors, private car park with EV charging points, and a 24-hour Careline emergency system.
Important financial and safety facts are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 115 years remaining, a high annual service charge of £5,260.88 and a ground rent of £789.58 per year (next review 2029). The wider area records a very high crime level, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the estate’s internal security measures.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a ready-made retirement community with social facilities and low internal maintenance. It’s practical rather than speculative — ideal for someone prioritising convenience, on-site support and energy-efficient communal heating, while accepting relatively high ongoing service costs and local crime statistics.
