Chain-free one-bedroom retirement flat with communal facilities and parking.
Second-floor retirement flat with lift access and intercom entry
A one-bedroom purpose-built retirement flat in Oaklands, Holly Drive, offered chain-free and as a freehold — designed for over-55s seeking low-maintenance living. Located on the second floor with lift access, the apartment includes a lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen and shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heating provide basic comfort, and the building has an EPC rating of C.
Residents benefit from communal gardens, laundry room, off-street parking and a guest suite for visitors. There is a full-time on-site manager and an entry intercom for added peace of mind. The property suits a buyer wanting an established retirement community with practical shared facilities and easy access to local shops and bus routes in Waterlooville.
Practical considerations: the heating is electric storage heaters and the property relies on individual electric supply (no communal fuel), which can mean higher running costs in cold months. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and the wider area has higher deprivation indicators — factors to weigh for anyone needing strong digital connectivity or local services. Viewing is recommended to assess room sizes and overall condition.
Overall this is a straightforward, chain-free retirement flat offering security, communal support and outdoor space. It will appeal to someone prioritising community living, low upkeep and clear ownership, while accepting limitations around heating type and digital connectivity.
