About this property
One of the nicest apartments we've seen at Bishopstoke Park, thoughtfully refurbished in early 2025 to an exceptional standard.
Immaculate interiors throughout with new carpets, herringbone Karndean flooring to the hallway and new bathrooms.
A spacious dual-aspect living room with feature fireplace, bay window, and glazed double doors through to the kitchen.
Two generous double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, and two beautifully refitted bathrooms with stylish tiling and practical touches for ease of use.
The kitchen has been enhanced with a new induction hob, ceramic sink, re-tiling, and comes complete with integrated appliances and a larder cupboard. Double doors lead out to a private patio area.
Being on the ground floor you can enjoy the outdoors from your own private patio area, as well as the landscaped grounds and superb facilities of the retirement village.
Step inside via the secure communal entrance with intercom to a welcoming hallway, an impressive 7 metres in length, with a built-in utility cupboard.
The main bedroom has a whole wall of fitted wardrobes and a newly refitted en-suite shower room with step-free walk-in enclosure, stylish tiling, and fitted storage. The second bedroom is also a generous double with more wardrobes, and has direct access into the Jack & Jill bathroom. This bathroom has also been refitted, complete with feature pink tiling, fitted vanity unit, and a wider-than-average bath, with shower over, for improved mobility.
The living room is a large, square, dual-aspect space with plenty of room for both lounge and dining furniture. A south-facing bay window floods the room with light, and a feature fireplace adds a focal point. Glazed double doors open into the kitchen, which has also been enhanced with a new induction hob, ceramic sink, fresh tiling, and additional sockets. White wall and base units are paired with light wood-style worktops. Integrated appliances include dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer, oven, microwave and there’s even a larder cupboard with shelving, light and power.
From here, double doors lead out to a private patio area, perfect for enjoying the sunshine or a morning coffee.
Bishopstoke Park is one of Hampshire’s most sought-after retirement villages, exclusively for the over 65s.

Local shops and amenities in Bishopstoke and Eastleigh are within easy reach, with good transport links into Southampton and Winchester.
Refurbished to a truly impressive standard, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of the finest homes available for sale in Bishopstoke Park.
