Summary - Flat 2 Summerlands Lodge, Farnborough Common BR6 8NE
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Comfortable, sociable living with gardens and communal facilities for older buyers.
Ground-floor, accessible one-bedroom apartment with wet room
A bright, ground-floor retirement apartment in Summerlands Lodge, offering accessible single-floor living and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The apartment includes a fully fitted kitchen with appliances, a wet room for easy use, and direct access to well-maintained communal gardens and social spaces.
Built in the late 1990s, the block provides communal facilities: owners' lounge, laundry room, emergency Careline, on-site warden and entryphone system. Outside there is communal parking and a shared landscaped garden where residents can meet friends and neighbours.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining, an average service charge of £3,000pa and ground rent of £300pa. Heating is electric via room heaters (no communal gas) so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The flat is around 500 sq ft — comfortable but not large.
This apartment will suit a retiree seeking a low-stairs, sociable setting close to local services and good digital connectivity. Be aware of local crime levels being above average and factor leasehold charges and electric heating into your budget when comparing options.
