Summary - Southampton Road, SO45 SO45 5DA
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Modern, low-maintenance two-bedroom apartment close to Hythe centre.
Ground-floor retirement flat, vacant and chain-free
A bright, ground-floor retirement apartment arranged over a comfortable 758 sq ft, offered vacant and with no onward chain. The long lease (about 111–113 years remaining), ensuite main bedroom, private paved patio and communal gardens deliver easy, low-maintenance living a short walk from Hythe town centre. The open lounge/diner and adjoining kitchen suit relaxed, sociable days at home and occasional entertaining.
Designed and built recently (post-2012), the flat benefits from double glazing, an EPC rating of C and electric underfloor heating for a tidy, modern finish. Practical features include a walk-in wardrobe, handy storage/airing cupboard and an included fridge/freezer and Hotpoint appliances. Off-street parking is available, though spaces are limited within the development.
Important factual points: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £4,242 (includes water and buildings insurance) and ground rent of £495 per year. Heating is electric rather than gas, which may affect running costs for some buyers. The local crime level is reported above average — worth considering when comparing locations.
Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep retirement option for downsizers who want modern accommodation close to local shops, healthcare and transport links. The vacant possession and straightforward layout make it easy to move into or manage as a long-term retirement home.
