Summary - 66, SUMMERSON LODGE, 94, ALVERSTONE ROAD, SOUTHSEA PO4 8GS
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Secure, sociable retirement living close to shops and transport.
Two double bedrooms with flexible living or hobby space
A well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Summerson Lodge, built 2012 and designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The sitting/dining room and two double bedrooms offer flexible space for day-to-day life, while a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and two hallway storage cupboards keep practical needs covered. Lift access serves every floor and there is an off-street owners’ car park.
The development is aimed at over-60s (one resident 60+, second 55+), with a Lodge manager available five days a week, an Owners’ Lounge hosting regular social events, and a 24-hour Careline and security systems for peace of mind. A Guest Suite is available for visiting family, and owners may use Guest Suites at other Churchill Living sites nationwide.
Buyers should note the running costs: an annual service charge of £3,603.07 and a ground rent of £713.38 (review due May 2026). The lease has long term remaining (around 110–112 years). The property sits in a lively urban area with excellent mobile and broadband coverage but local crime levels are reported very high and the wider area shows relative deprivation; these local factors are important to consider alongside the convenience and community benefits.
Overall, this apartment suits a downsizer seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting close to Southsea amenities and transport links, who is comfortable with the communal service charges and urban location considerations.
