A bright, one-bedroom retirement flat in Holmbush Court offers manageable, comfortable living close to Southsea’s shops, cafes and the seafront. The apartment has a generous living room, a large bedroom with built-in wardrobes and garden access, plus a practical fitted kitchen and modern shower room. Double glazing and recent construction (1996–2002) help with thermal performance. Electric storage heating and an immersion-heated airing cupboard are fitted.
Residents benefit from on-site support and community facilities: a house manager, laundry rooms, a busy social calendar and a 24-hour care line for peace of mind. Communal gardens and an on-site car park add convenience for those who drive and for visitors. The flat’s footprint (about 776 sq ft) is unusually large for a one-bedroom, giving flexible space for furniture or hobbies.
This is a leasehold retirement property with 97 years remaining; additional leasehold-related fees and service charges may apply and will be provided separately. The building uses electric heating rather than gas, which can affect running costs, and prospective buyers should commission their own service checks. Note the local area records a very high crime rate, which may influence personal security choices despite the on-site manager and community support.
Overall, this apartment suits a downsizer seeking a spacious, social retirement setting near amenities and the seafront, who is comfortable with leasehold tenure and electric heating. Viewing is recommended to assess the layout and condition personally.
