This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Grade II listed Adams House offers a practical, low-maintenance home for the over-60s, set within well-kept communal gardens and only about half a mile from Alton High Street. High ceilings and sash-style windows give a sense of space to the living room and double bedroom, while a recently fitted kitchen and shower room reduce immediate refurbishment needs.
The building’s historic character and communal setting provide an attractive, peaceful retirement environment with excellent access to shops, cafés and a mainline station to London Waterloo. The flat is offered with no onward chain, making it straightforward to move in or let quickly if required.
Buyers should note material limitations: the lease has around 60 years remaining, which may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering finance and could affect resale value. The Grade II listing protects the building’s character but will restrict external and some internal alterations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so running costs and improvement work should be considered.
This property suits a buyer seeking a compact, characterful retirement flat close to town amenities and transport links, who accepts the constraints of a listed building and a shorter lease. An internal inspection will best reveal the apartment’s proportions and garden outlook.
