This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in The Cooperage is aimed at downsizers seeking a low-maintenance, age-exclusive home in central Alton. The dual-aspect 17ft sitting room, newly fitted kitchen and modern shower room create a bright, comfortable living space with easy lift access and communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry and parking.
Practical advantages include no onward chain and a convenient town-centre location close to shops, transport links and services. The flat is close to the lift, making access straightforward for limited mobility, and benefits from double glazing and a recently updated kitchen.
Important material facts: the property is leasehold with around 62 years remaining; many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on short leases, so buyers should check finance options first. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the development reports higher local crime levels, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall, the apartment suits a retiree or downsizer seeking a central, community-focused home that is ready to move into but who accepts the constraints of a short lease and electric heating. Viewing is recommended for those prioritising convenience and communal support over long lease tenure.
