Enjoy single-level, low-step living in this ground-floor, garden apartment within Bishopstoke Park’s over-65s community. The dual-aspect living/dining room opens directly to a private patio, giving the flat a bungalow-like feel and easy access to fresh air and communal grounds. A cat flap is already fitted for pet owners, and off-street parking is available.
The kitchen is modern and concealed behind glazed double doors, with integrated appliances and a pleasant woodland outlook. Storage is a strong feature: three hallway cupboards plus a dressing area with extensive fitted wardrobes. The bedroom is generous and connects to a Jack & Jill shower room, allowing guest access without walking through the sleeping area.
This is a probate sale offered chain-free, so the purchase can be straightforward. Practical considerations include the lease (approx. 117 years remaining), an annual ground rent (£500 with scheduled increases), and a high service charge (£690.44 pcm / £8,285.28 pa). There is also a deferred sinking fund contribution of 4% payable on sale. Residents benefit from on-site amenities and optional care, but utilities are managed centrally and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow.
Overall, this apartment suits a downsizer or retirement buyer seeking a well-proportioned, low-maintenance home with private outdoor space and strong storage, provided you’re comfortable with the service charge and communal arrangements.
