Summary - Flat 24 Hamblewood Court, Church Lane, Botley SO30 2UE
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free two-bedroom retirement home with communal gardens and parking.
Two double bedrooms with master balcony to rear
A ready-to-move-into retirement maisonette offered chain-free in the well-kept Hamblewood Court. The first-floor layout provides a generous lounge/diner, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom — practical accommodation for comfortable downsizing. The master bedroom opens onto a rear balcony overlooking the communal gardens, adding outdoor space without maintenance.
Residents benefit from a staffed onsite warden, a guest suite (chargeable), organised outings and a community bus to nearby shops. Private residents’ parking and beautifully maintained lawns leading down toward the River Hamble give the development a peaceful, village feel while keeping local amenities within walking distance.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 60 years remaining — this is a material issue as many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. The annual service charge is £3,030.60 (reviewed each May) and the EPC is graded D. Broadband is part-fibre with typical download speeds up to 76 Mbps.
Overall, this maisonette suits over-55s seeking low-maintenance, sociable retirement living in a comfortable neighbourhood. It offers immediate occupation and community facilities, but buyers should confirm mortgage eligibility given the short lease and budget for the annual service charge and potential future lease extension costs.
