Allocated off-street parking space included
Ground-floor flat with communal lawned garden
109 years remaining on lease — long lease term

Above-average council tax band — higher running costs
Around 600 sq ft — compact living space
Kitchen requires minor repairs; ceiling stain present
No onward chain — vacant or fast completion possible
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Rooksdown offers an accessible starter home with no onward chain and allocated parking. The living space includes a lounge/diner with external French doors, a fitted kitchen and a communal lawned garden — practical for everyday living and low-maintenance outdoor space.
The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) with double glazing and gas radiators; the 109-year lease gives long-term security for leaseholders. Local amenities are close by — convenience stores, cafés, schools and the North Hampshire Hospital — and Basingstoke town centre and rail links are a short drive or bus ride away, which supports commuting and rental demand.
There are some clear costs to factor in: an average service charge of around £1,200pa and above-average council tax. The apartment is small (approximately 600 sq ft) and the kitchen shows a ceiling stain and will need minor repairs. Buyers should also allow for routine decorating and check appliances and boiler service history.
Overall, the flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable, well-located property with immediate availability. It delivers sensible, low-effort living now and presents modest potential for cosmetic improvement to increase comfort or rental appeal.
