A bright one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in an age-exclusive development, offered at £89,950. The flat has been recently renovated with a modern fitted kitchen and a refitted shower room, and it enjoys pleasant views over well-kept communal gardens and seating areas. The development provides on-site management, a communal lounge, and a guest suite for visitors—features that support an independent, sociable retirement lifestyle.
Positioned a short stroll from Locks Heath district centre, this home is close to Waitrose, local shops, medical services and regular bus routes to Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton. Off-street parking and excellent local broadband and mobile signal add practical convenience, while nearby riverside walks and coastal attractions are an easy drive away.
Practical considerations: the apartment is small (approx. 345 sq ft) and sits in a building with 60 years remaining on the lease. That limited lease length is likely to make mortgage lending difficult or unavailable for some buyers — a key factor for anyone not buying in cash. Quarterly costs are: service charge £664.02 and ground rent £50; council tax band A remains low.
This property suits a downsizer seeking a low-maintenance, community-oriented home close to local amenities, who is aware of the lease term and associated financing implications. The apartment offers comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation with communal support, but buyers should check mortgageability and long-term lease options before committing.
