This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Romsey, Hampshire, is listed at £80,000. Located on Middlebridge Street within the Romsey Abbey locality, it benefits from its proximity to local amenities and transportation links, including Romsey train station (approximately 1.07km away). Several good-rated primary and secondary schools are also within a reasonable distance.
The apartment itself is part of a McCarthy & Stone development, Homemead House, suggesting a well-maintained building and secure environment. Images indicate a functional layout with a living area, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. While the apartment appears clean and well-kept, it has a slightly dated aesthetic which might require some updating or refurbishment to suit contemporary preferences. The kitchen’s fixtures and the bathroom’s style appear somewhat outdated.
The property does not offer a private garden, but residents have access to shared communal green spaces, as evidenced in the provided photographs. This lack of private outdoor space is typical of apartments within a retirement complex.
While a comprehensive market analysis would require additional data, nearby property listings show a considerable price range. The listed price of £80,000 seems to fall within a reasonable range considering the size (393 sqft) and location, especially when compared to the average price for similar properties on Tadbourne Walk (£111,875). However, the age and style of the apartment, as well as its limited square footage, could influence negotiation depending on buyer preference and market conditions. This is a suitable option primarily for retirees or those seeking smaller, lower-maintenance accommodation in a well-located area. A more modern refurbishment would significantly improve its market appeal and potentially warrant a higher price tag.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
