This second-floor one-bedroom apartment in Willow Court is designed for independent retirement living. The large 17' bedroom, separate kitchen and living/dining room give more space than many one-bed flats, and front-aspect windows look over well-kept communal grounds for a peaceful outlook.
Practical features include a lift to the second floor, security fob/visitor entry system, emergency pull cords, on-site manager with out-of-hours contacts, communal lounge, laundry room and visitor parking. The flat is offered with no onward chain and a long lease (99 years stated) — straightforward for a buyer seeking quick completion.
Buyers should note some predictable trade-offs for a purpose-built retirement block of this era: heating is by electric storage heaters and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so thermal performance may be dated and running costs higher than modern systems. The development was built in the 1980s and, while well maintained, buyers should confirm lease details, service charges and obligations with their solicitor.
The setting is convenient for Alton town centre and local amenities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. This apartment will suit a downsizer or retiree who values communal support, a roomy bedroom and low-management living, while accepting the typical costs and maintenance considerations of an older, leasehold retirement block.
