Set on the first floor of Bishopstoke Park’s main building, this one-bedroom retirement home offers bright, south-facing living and bedroom spaces that feel welcoming throughout the day. The compact layout (approx. 466 sq ft) is easy to manage, with built-in bedroom wardrobes, an ensuite step-free walk-in shower and useful hallway storage.
Residents benefit from immediate access to excellent on-site amenities: restaurant and bar, wellness centre with pool, sauna and gym, hair salon, library and landscaped grounds. The kitchen is neatly arranged behind glazed doors and includes integrated appliances for low-maintenance living. The property is offered with Anchor’s Assisted Living package (minimum one hour of housekeeping per week), with options to increase support as needs change.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold apartment with about 118 years remaining. Service charges are £149.30 per week (approx. £7,763.60 annually) and there is an annual ground rent of £500 that doubles every 25 years. A deferred sinking fund contribution of 4% is payable on sale. Parking is on-street with permits available, and Southampton Airport sits about 3 miles away, so occasional background aircraft noise may be noticed.
This home suits someone seeking an easy-to-run, sociable retirement setting with on-site care options and good communal facilities. It’s ideal for planning ahead — the flexible care package and step-free wet room make future adjustments straightforward — but buyers should factor ongoing service costs and leasehold terms into their budgeting.
