Set in the heart of Petersfield, this first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance living close to shops, transport links and the South Downs. The apartment benefits from its own front door, a welcoming living room with an electric feature fire, and a modern kitchen with good storage — ready to move into without major works.
The development has a strong community spirit and practical communal facilities: a large residents’ lounge, conservatory, stairlift and off-street parking. There is a communal garden and planted areas maintained for residents. Service charge and ground rent cover these shared services and upkeep, simplifying maintenance responsibilities for an owner-occupier or landlord.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with 96 years remaining. Annual service charge (£3,026.32) and ground rent (£300pa) should be budgeted for. The area is very affluent and well connected, but local crime statistics are higher than average, which some buyers may wish to investigate further before proceeding.
