Situated on the first floor of Bishopstoke Park’s main building, this two-double-bedroom apartment is designed for comfortable, independent retirement living with future care in mind. Both bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and one bedroom benefits from a separate external entrance—useful for visiting guests or a live-in carer. The apartment links directly to the village hub, so the pool, gym, salon, restaurant and shop are a few steps away in all weathers.
The property is offered with Anchor’s Assisted Living package (minimum housekeeping from £23.10 per week) and optional upgrades to include utilities, laundry and a daily cooked meal for added convenience. Residents enjoy landscaped gardens, activities and a secure over-65s community where support is available when needed. Practical extras include off-street parking permits and an average-sized, well-lit living space with modern fittings.
Buyers should note the leasehold running balance (about 118 years remaining), an annual ground rent currently £500 (doubling every 25 years), and a relatively high service charge of £8,285.28 pa. There is also a deferred sinking fund contribution of 4% payable on sale. The apartment is currently let and marketing uses library images; occasional background aircraft noise may be heard due to proximity to Southampton Airport.
This apartment will suit downsizers and retirees seeking a sociable, low-maintenance lifestyle with on-site care options and extensive facilities, while being prepared for ongoing service and tenure costs associated with village living.
