Summary - PILBROW COURT FLAT 31 CANBERRA CLOSE GOSPORT PO12 2NZ
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Accessible independent living with communal amenities and lift access.
One-bedroom first-floor retirement flat for over-60s, chain free
A practical, well-located first-floor retirement flat offered chain-free for independent living. The one-bedroom layout has a comfortable lounge, a compact fitted kitchen with a window and a walk-in shower room — all arranged around a small courtyard garden and communal grounds. PVCu double glazing and electric storage heating keep running costs straightforward, and the flat sits close to the lift for easy access.
The development is focused on social independent living: there is a communal lounge with regular activities, a laundry room and a door-entry system with emergency assistance pull-cords in the apartment. The block includes a lift and stairs, and the flat’s proximity to local shops, healthcare and bus routes makes day-to-day life convenient.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property for those aged 60+ (or one partner 60 and the other 55+). Service charges and ground rent are significant — current annual service charge £3,236.62 and ground rent £510.19 — and there is an exit fee of 2% payable on future sale. Heating is electric only (no gas) and the property does not provide care services, so purchasers should budget for ongoing charges and any future upgrades.
Overall, this apartment will suit an active older buyer seeking low-maintenance, social living in a very accessible location. It offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear scope for modest updating and the reassurance of established communal facilities, balanced against leasehold costs that should be checked with management before exchange.
