The flat benefits from double glazing, a walk-in shower, a fitted kitchen and direct access to beautifully gated communal gardens maintained by the management company.
Safety and support are built in: a 24-hour emergency Careline, secure entry door system and on-site communal facilities contribute to peace of mind. The development is close to shops, a post office and the X3 bus route to Salisbury, Ringwood and Bournemouth, making essential errands and travel straightforward.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with around 101 years remaining; service charges and additional leasehold fees may apply. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can mean higher running costs for some buyers.

Overall, the apartment suits a retiree seeking a low-maintenance, community-oriented home with garden access and emergency support, while being comfortable with leasehold ownership and electric heating.
