This re-decorated one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of the Oakhurst retirement development offers low-maintenance living with a private balcony and lift access. The flat sits close to lifts and stairs and benefits from well-kept communal grounds, parking bays, and on-site communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and a 24-hour emergency call system.
The property is designed for over-60s and can be purchased through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease plan, which typically reduces the upfront cost (example guide price £89,950 versus full market £128,500). The exact price depends on age and circumstances; buyers may choose to purchase up to 50% of the property value to safeguard capital.
Practical points to note: the apartment uses electric storage heating (higher seasonal running costs possible) and is part of a managed, leasehold retirement development where service or event fees may apply. The flat is small-to-average in size for a one-bedroom retirement property, so it suits a single occupant or couple seeking manageable accommodation close to local amenities in Branksome Park.
Overall this apartment suits downsizers seeking secure, social retirement living with recent redecoration and practical communal support, provided they are comfortable with leasehold living, potential service charges and electric heating.
