This one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment at Chadwick Lodge offers low-maintenance living with practical comforts and built-in safety features. The balcony and a well-proportioned lounge create a pleasant living/dining space, while the fully fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances. The property benefits from a communal air source heat pump (heating costs included in service charge) and double glazing, keeping running costs relatively efficient. A lodge manager is on site five days a week and a 24-hour Careline provides round-the-clock emergency support for added peace of mind.
Owners can use an on-site Guest Suite, plus access Guest Suites at other Churchill Living developments nationwide — convenient for visiting family. The apartment includes an off-street private car park and is within easy reach of Southampton town centre, West Quay, cultural venues and frequent public transport, making shops and services highly accessible.
Important practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with a long lease remaining (about 113–125 years depending on the note), a substantial annual service charge, and a separate ground rent payable yearly. The building sits in a busy, cosmopolitan area classed locally as a student neighbourhood, which may bring higher activity and local noise at times. Crime levels in the area are recorded as high, so consider personal security needs despite the building’s strong internal safety systems.
Overall, this apartment suits someone seeking a secure, managed retirement setting with easy access to city amenities and low upkeep. It is best for buyers who prioritise onsite support and communal facilities and who are comfortable with leasehold costs and an urban, lively location.
