This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a bright, practical layout for a first-time buyer or couple seeking immediate move-in. The open-plan lounge/diner with a large bay window floods the space with natural light, and the fitted kitchen is arranged for everyday use. Both bedrooms fit double beds and the refitted bathroom has a bath with shower over. Communal off-street parking and UPVC double glazing add everyday convenience.
There are some important financial and location considerations to weigh. The lease has 81 years remaining and will need renewing soon; the current owner is in the process of extending it, but buyers should budget for lease-extension costs and seek solicitor confirmation. Service charges run at about £90 per month (approx. £1,080 per year) and ground rent is low at around £50 per year. Heating is electric, which may be more expensive than gas alternatives and affects running costs.
Location is convenient for transport and shopping — the Asda superstore and Chandlers Ford station are within walking distance, with fast road links to the M3. However, the wider area records higher crime and deprivation indicators; prospective buyers should visit at different times and check local safety data. The Energy Rating is D and the building is a 1980s block with standard ceiling heights and compact rooms.
Overall, this well-presented flat suits buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in, well-located property but who understand the urgency of addressing the lease length and ongoing service charges.
