Set within Hound Manor’s Grade II listed, Georgian-style building, this two-bedroom apartment suits buyers seeking character, convenience and landscaped grounds. The apartment features sash windows, fitted shutters and a vaulted glass-roofed dining room that brings light into the heart of the home. The layout includes a well-proportioned lounge, modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and an en-suite to the master. Communal gardens back onto paddocks and residents’ parking is available.
Practical details matter: the property is share of freehold with 91 years remaining on the lease, a service charge of £3,624 pa and an annual ground rent currently £200 (scheduled increases and reviews). The sellers say the lease can be extended to 980 years for solicitor fees only and that ground rent would then be removed – a significant opportunity to resolve the short lease if you wish.
The setting suits downsizers and retirees who value village amenities and good transport links: Netley Abbey village centre, a nearby train station and Royal Victoria Country Park are all close by. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, heating is gas boiler and radiators, and many practical services are included in the service charge (water, buildings insurance, window cleaning and grounds maintenance).
Matters to note: as a listed building, alterations will be restricted and may require permissions, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation. The area records above-average crime levels, and the lease length and service charges are important considerations when budgeting. Overall this is a character apartment with garden access and parking, offering sensible potential for someone able to manage listed-building constraints and communal fees.
