Summary - Flat 24, Homestour House 46-48, Barrack Road BH23 1PF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact one-bedroom retirement flat with lift, communal facilities and on-site support.
Purpose-built retirement development with on-site Development Manager
A comfortable one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development, designed for residents aged 60 and over. The building offers easy access with a lift to all floors, a Development Manager on site, a 24/7 emergency Appello call system and communal facilities including a residents' lounge, laundry and a guest suite for visiting family.
The flat has an open-plan layout with a medium-sized living room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom; overall floor area is 452 sq ft, suitable for a single person or couple seeking low-maintenance living. The communal gardens and modest residential street setting deliver a quiet, well-kept environment close to local amenities and transport links in BH23.
Practical points to note: the lease has about 86 years remaining (125 years from 1987), the annual service charge is comparatively high at £4,919 and ground rent is £494.74. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the interior is dated in places (mid-20th-century fireplace and wallpaper shown), so cosmetic updating may be desired.
This property will suit a buyer seeking convenience, on-site support and community rather than a major renovation project. With low local crime, no flood risk, average broadband and excellent mobile signal, it is well placed for safe, connected retirement living. Council tax is described as cheap, helping running costs, but factor in the service charge when budgeting.
