Summary - 33 Summerson Lodge, 94 Alverstone Road PO4 8GS
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, low-maintenance home with communal facilities and parking for retirees.
Chain-free two-bedroom retirement apartment, first-floor with lift access
A chain-free, two-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a well-maintained development built in 2012. The flat offers a generous lounge/diner with French doors overlooking landscaped communal gardens, two double bedrooms and a fitted bathroom — a compact, comfortable home designed for easy living.
The development includes lift access, resident parking, communal lounges, a shared laundry room, a guest suite and a Careline alarm system with on-site management. The apartment has ample built-in storage and a light, airy feel throughout, making it straightforward to move into and enjoy the communal facilities and social activities.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 112 years remaining, a relatively high annual service charge and a significant ground rent. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the overall footprint is about 588 sq ft — ideal for downsizers but limited for those needing extra space.
Location benefits include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; however, the area records higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, which should be weighed when deciding on the move. For someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement base with onsite social facilities and lift access, this apartment offers convenience and a ready-made community.
