Comfortable second-floor apartment in a central Ringwood location, designed for low-maintenance retirement living. The flat has been freshly redecorated and fitted with new carpets, so it’s ready to move into without immediate work. Lift access, an on-site part-time house manager, an Appello 24-hour emergency call system and communal facilities (lounge, kitchen and garden) provide practical support and social space for over-60s.
Practical details suit a buyer seeking convenience: a one-bedroom layout of about 490 sq ft, a separate sitting room and kitchen, off-street parking (subject to availability) and an affordable council tax band. The property is chain-free and sits on a long lease of approximately 104 years, offering security for the purchaser.
Be clear about a few material points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building uses electricity as the main fuel, which can be costlier than gas. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and parking is not guaranteed. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which may influence personal security preferences.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers and retirees who prioritise central convenience, communal support and low up-front renovation needs. It represents a straightforward, low-maintenance base in Ringwood town centre, with potential to personalise over time while benefiting from onsite support and social amenities.
