Summary - 46 Summerson Lodge, 94 Alverstone Road, SOUTHSEA PO4 8GS
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance flat with parking and communal care facilities for downsizers.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, built 2012
A well-presented, first-floor one-bedroom apartment in the purpose-built Summerson Lodge development, constructed in 2012. The flat is compact (approx. 410 sqft) and designed for low-maintenance living: fitted kitchen with integrated oven/hob and fridge, shower room, fitted bedroom wardrobe and a lounge with a Juliet balcony. The development provides resident parking, communal gardens, lounge and laundry, a house manager, guest suite and 24-hour care-line for peace of mind.
This leasehold property is offered chain free and suits someone looking to downsize or buy a retirement home close to local amenities. The apartment’s electric heating (room heaters) and double glazing help with running costs, and council tax is described as cheap. The layout is efficient with useful storage including a large airing cupboard.
Important practical points: the flat is small and best for single occupancy or a couple who accept modest living space. There is an annual service charge (c. £2,395.34 p.a.) and ground rent (c. £647.98 p.a.), and the lease term is approximately 111 years remaining. Heating is via electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect energy bills depending on usage.
Note the location is in a deprived area with a very high crime rating recorded for the immediate surroundings; prospective buyers should assess personal safety and security needs. The property has no notable long-distance views and communal gardens are modest in size.
