Step into a well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment in Hamble, set within a modern detached block with residents’ communal gardens and lounge. The flat offers a comfortable living/dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and a main bedroom with a walk-in cupboard. Electric underfloor heating and double glazing are fitted throughout.
Practical details support long-term security: this is a leasehold property with an exceptionally long lease (989 years). Service charge and ground rent apply (approx. £3,705 and £425 respectively), and the property is generally maintenance-free externally thanks to managed communal areas. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no flood risk.
The location suits downsizers seeking a self-sufficient retirement setting with town-fringe convenience. Hamble village provides shops, restaurants, a marina and riverside walks; local amenities include buses, convenience stores, a surgery and leisure facilities. Mobile signal is excellent; broadband speeds are average.
Notable drawbacks are the ongoing costs: the above-average service charge and an annual ground rent. The apartment is modest in size (about 579 sq ft) so it will suit single occupancy or couples rather than those needing more space. The block and internal layout are traditional rather than open-plan, which may limit major remodelling.
