Compact, low-maintenance flat close to town shops and rail connections.
Over-55s retirement apartment with part-time warden and emergency pull-cord
A ground-/lower-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Petersfield, offered with no onward chain and overlooking well-kept communal gardens. The double bedroom is generous for the size, and the bay-window lounge/diner brings light and a pleasant green aspect. On-site communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite and part-time warden with pull-cord emergency help — useful for independent living and occasional support.
The fitted kitchen and shower room are functional but the interior shows signs of age and would benefit from updating to suit modern tastes. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold; buyers should review the lease length, service charges and any ground rent. The apartment is compact at around 462 sq ft, so it suits a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance, town-centre living rather than those needing large living spaces.
Practical advantages include communal parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus immediate access to Petersfield’s shops, services and rail connections. There is no flood risk and the setting sits close to the South Downs National Park for countryside access. Note that local crime statistics are higher than average; purchasers may want to consider security and insurance implications before committing.
