A compact first-floor one-bedroom apartment designed for over-55s, located moments from Bishops Waltham High Street. The flat sits within mature communal gardens and benefits from an on-site caretaker, communal lounge, laundry and visitor suite — practical features for independent retirement living.
The layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance hall with storage, a living/dining room opening to a modest fitted kitchen, one double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with shower over bath. Electric storage heaters and double glazing provide basic comfort; the building has a lift for easier access to the first floor.
Practical costs and tenure are clear: 141 years remain on the lease, annual ground rent about £550 and typical service charges around £2,700 per year. There is residents’ parking and attractive shared gardens, but the apartment’s internal floor area is small at about 407 sq ft — ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living rather than large accommodation.
Buyers should note the medium flood risk classification and reliance on individual electric heating (storage heaters), which may affect running costs. Overall this property suits someone wanting a convenient, central village location with communal support and modest upkeep obligations.
