A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment offered chain-free and designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The flat opens to a well-proportioned lounge with a private patio, fitted kitchen and two bedrooms, all arranged on a single level for easy access. Residents benefit from communal gardens, a resident’s car park, communal lounge, laundry room, on-site manager and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system.
Practical aspects suit downsizers: double glazing, EPC grade C and reliable fibre-to-cabinet broadband (up to 76 Mbps). The location is convenient — about half a mile from Hedge End village centre with shops, medical services and bus routes, and quick access to the M27 and local retail parks.
Important considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining. Annual service charge is £3,923.15 and ground rent £380 per year, with the service charge reviewed annually. The apartment is modest in size (approximately 477 sq ft) which suits a single person or couple but limits space for larger furniture.
Overall this property will appeal to over-55s seeking a manageable, chain-free home in a purpose-built retirement development. It has useful communal facilities and outside space, but buyers should factor in running costs, lease length and electric heating when deciding to view.
