Set at the heart of Farnborough within easy reach of the town centre shops, cafes and restaurants, this first floor retirement apartment boasts spacious accommodation and benefits from excellent resident facilities.
Property Oracle says ..
The apartment is situated in the Empress locality of Rushmoor, within the South East district of Hampshire. The location benefits from its proximity to Farnborough (Main) train station, which is approximately 0.69km away, providing convenient access to rail travel. Several primary schools are also within a reasonable distance, including Tower Hill Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) at 1.20km. The presence of these amenities suggests a reasonably convenient location for families and commuters. However, without further information on local shops, places of significance, and the overall atmosphere of the neighborhood, a definitive location score is difficult to provide.
Based on the provided images, the apartment appears to be in good condition for its age. The interior is well-maintained, although the furnishings and décor style might be considered dated by some. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed. The communal areas also appear clean and well-kept. The presence of a communal laundry room is a positive feature. The external areas, including the private garden and communal grounds, are well-maintained and landscaped.
The property includes a private garden, a significant positive factor. The plot size of 531 sqft is relatively small, but sufficient for a one-bedroom apartment.
Considering the list price of £120,000, the average price of similar properties in the area (£300,745), and the average price per sqft (£386), this apartment appears to be priced competitively. The significantly lower price compared to the area average is likely due to its smaller size (431 sqft) and the fact that it is an apartment within a larger complex rather than a detached or semi-detached house. The lower price point may also reflect the style of the property, which might be perceived as less desirable by some buyers. However, the fact that it is well-maintained and includes a private garden makes it an attractive option for those seeking an affordable property in a convenient location.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
