A practical two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Gershwin Court, offered with no onward chain. The flat provides a straightforward layout with a spacious lounge/dining room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom — all in a compact 505 sq ft plan suited to those seeking low-maintenance living.

This property suits an over-55 buyer looking to downsize or secure a simple base near Basingstoke amenities. It sits close to shopping, leisure facilities and transport links (M3 access and mainline rail within short drive). Communal gardens and off-street parking offer outside space and convenience without heavy upkeep.
Important purchase considerations are clear: the lease has approximately 62 years remaining, which will likely prevent mortgage lending — cash buyers only. Service charge and ground rent apply (approx. £2,824.20 yearly service charge; ground rent c. £155.40 yearly). The interior shows 1980s fittings and will benefit from modernization, particularly the kitchen and decor.
Location factors to note: the property is in a neighbourhood with higher crime and area deprivation statistics, which some buyers may find relevant. On the plus side, mobile signal and broadband are strong, and local schools and community amenities are nearby. Viewing will most help buyers assess whether the size, condition and lease length match their needs.
