Compact footprint — c.405 sqft (small overall size)

A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Pinewood Court, offered with a new 99-year lease and no onward chain. Recently redecorated after long use as the development manager’s office, the flat is ready to occupy and benefits from direct access to the communal gardens via the lounge.
The development offers sensible retirement amenities: security entry, communal lounges, part-time on-site manager, a bookable guest bedroom, lifts and visitor parking. The location is convenient for Fleet town centre, the mainline station (direct to London Waterloo), local shops and green spaces such as Fleet Pond and the Basingstoke Canal.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the apartment is compact (approximately 405 sqft) with electric storage heating and double glazing. Service charges are significant (around £3,754 per year) and ground rent is small. There is likely limited wall insulation given the building era; buyers should note heating will rely on electric systems.
This property will suit an over-55 buyer seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement base with communal support and outside space. It also offers potential for modest updating or adaptation to personal preferences, though any major works should factor in leasehold rules and service charge implications.
