First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, approx 496 sq ft
A one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Chestnut Lodge, ideal for someone wanting easy access to local shops and green space. The flat is part of a purpose-built development of 54 apartments with communal landscaped gardens, residents’ lounge, guest suite and laundry — practical facilities that support independent living.
Practical features include a 24-hour Appello emergency call system and a Development Manager during office hours. The sale price includes carpets, curtains and light fittings, making it straightforward to move in. The property sits directly opposite Southampton Common and is a short walk to a Sainsbury’s Local and other everyday amenities.
Notable costs and constraints: the annual service charge is £3,203.13, and the lease has about 88 years remaining (125-year lease from 1989). Heating is by electric storage heaters; there is no communal gas. Subletting is not permitted and residents must be 55 or over. The apartment is a modest, average-sized unit (around 496 sq ft) and may suit buyers seeking low-maintenance accommodation rather than a large family home.
Overall this apartment will appeal to downsizers or retirees seeking a secure, sociable development close to green space and local services. Budget for the service charge and consider the electric heating when comparing running costs.
