This first-floor retirement apartment at Alver Quay offers a waterside outlook over Workhouse Lake and a compact, low-maintenance layout suited to downsizers. The living room’s large bay windows flood the space with light, while the modern kitchen (refurbished about 5–6 years ago) and fitted bedroom wardrobes make the flat ready to occupy.
Residents benefit from communal facilities including a lounge, laundry room, maintained gardens and an on-site car park, plus emergency pull-cords for added peace of mind. The development sits in the heart of Gosport town centre, placing shops, transport links and local amenities within easy walking distance.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold for older residents (60+), offered chain free, and has electric heating and double glazing. The apartment is small in overall footprint and carries an annual service charge (approx. £3,564), so budget for ongoing communal costs and consider the remaining lease length when planning long-term ownership or resale.
For someone looking to downsize to a secure, social retirement setting with a pleasant waterside view and immediate occupation possible, this apartment presents straightforward living with modest running costs and strong local convenience. Investors should note the specialist retirement tenure and service charge when assessing yield.
