One-bedroom retirement flat with communal gardens and town-centre convenience..
Secure communal entrance with part-time warden and emergency pull-cord
A bright one-bedroom apartment in St Peters Court, designed for over-55s, sits on Hylton Road with pleasant views over well-kept communal gardens. The flat offers a generous double bedroom, bay-windowed lounge/diner, separate kitchen and a walk-in shower room — practical spaces suited to a downsizer seeking low-maintenance living close to Petersfield town centre.
The development provides several resident-focused amenities: a part-time warden, pull-cord emergency alarm, residents’ lounge, laundry room and a guest suite for visitors. The building’s communal gardens and pergola give a calm outdoor space without private garden upkeep. The property is offered with no onward chain, which may speed a move for a buyer who can manage the lease position.
Buyers should note material concerns plainly: the apartment is leasehold with 59 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders impose strict minimums and could refuse to lend on this property; purchasers should seek specialist mortgage advice or consider cash purchase. Heating is electric, delivered via room heaters, which can be less efficient and more expensive than central systems. Local crime is recorded as high, which may be a consideration for some buyers.
Overall, this apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a supportive retirement setting close to town amenities and the South Downs National Park — provided they are comfortable with the lease length and electric heating arrangement.
