Enjoy single-floor living in this ground-floor retirement apartment, built by McCarthy & Stone and set moments from Fordingbridge High Street. The open-plan lounge/diner opens onto the large communal courtyard, bringing light and easy garden access; two double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry, lift, car park, house manager and 24-hour emergency call system — conveniences aimed at independent retirement living.
Practicalities suit downsizers: the apartment is chain free with approximately 110 years remaining on the lease and off-street parking. Mains utilities, double glazing and a straightforward electric heating system keep the setup simple, and there is no identified flood risk. Local shops, services and good primary/secondary schools are all within walking distance in this small-town setting.
Important drawbacks are factual and should be considered: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,853 and a relatively high ground rent of £908.32 each year (paid twice yearly), which will affect ongoing costs. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the wider area records higher-than-average crime, which may influence suitability for some buyers.
This apartment will particularly suit someone looking to downsize into a managed retirement development with communal support and nearby amenities, while those seeking lower ongoing charges or gas-central heating should factor those points into their decision.
