Apartment 21 Gilman Court is a rare, spacious top-floor retirement home offering 1,440 sq ft of flexible living in Bishopstoke Park. Bright dual-aspect living/dining space opens to two balconies — a south-facing terrace for sunny afternoons and a second balcony with open views towards Breach Lane. The well-equipped grey kitchen has integrated appliances and there is a separate utility room for practical day-to-day living.
Both bedrooms are generous and en suite: the master includes built-in wardrobes and a shower room, while the second bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and its own bathroom with a Velux window. The wide entrance hall with a Velux roof window provides extra storage and a desk area. Underfloor heating, neutral finishes and quality window dressings make the apartment largely move-in ready.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site facilities including gym, pool, spa, salon, a restaurant, village shop and organised activities, with optional care and housekeeping services available. Parking permits are offered and the development is around 3 miles from Southampton Airport — convenient for travel but with occasional background aircraft noise for some residents.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 117 years remaining. Service charges total £8,285.28 per year and ground rent is £500 pa (doubling every 25 years). There is a deferred sinking fund contribution of 4% payable on sale. These ongoing costs should be considered alongside the lifestyle and roomy accommodation on offer.
