Summary - TOWER COURT, 67 FLAT 9 TOWER STREET WINCHESTER SO23 8TA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact first-floor retirement flat with gardens and parking.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat in Winchester city centre
This compact one-bedroom flat sits on the first floor of an over-55s development in the heart of Winchester, a short walk from the High Street, library, theatre and regular bus routes. The layout includes a bright living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage, bathroom, and a pleasant front-facing outlook. Shared benefits include two communal gardens, lift access and residents’ parking.
The apartment is offered chain-free and features double glazing and electric storage heating. It requires modernisation throughout, offering scope to personalise finishes and increase value — similar potential noted in nearby flats. Service charge and ground rent are payable; full figures are provided for budget planning.
There is a fundamental practical drawback: just 61 years remain on the lease. That low remaining term will limit mortgage options and may require a cash purchase or a buyer willing to arrange a lease extension. Additionally, the area records higher crime levels, which should be considered alongside the central location and local amenities.
Overall, this is a small, city-centre retirement flat with clear updating needs and lease-length limitations. It will suit a downsizer or investor prepared for refurbishment or a buyer able to proceed without standard mortgage lending.
