An incredibly spacious one bedroom apartment with its own private balcony, located in the sought-after Bishopstoke Park Retirement Village. The property has energy-efficient underfloor heating, and is neutrally decorated with quality carpets and floorcoverings throughout.

The accommodation comprises a wide welcoming entrance hallway with excellent storage, large living room opening to a private balcony, a stylish kitchen with integrated appliances, and a huge master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and a luxury ensuite with level-access shower.

Bishopstoke Park retirement village offers stunning apartments in beautiful surroundings, state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant community. At Bishopstoke Park, the best of luxury retirement living is combined with an independent lifestyle designed around you, creating a unique experience.

Taking pride of place at the heart of Bishopstoke Park retirement village is the painstakingly restored 19th-century Mount building providing a unique focal point for village life. A state-of-the-art wellness centre and spa offers a luxurious swimming pool, Whirlpool bath, steam room, sauna, and fully equipped gymnasium. Nestled alongside the Mount are Cotton's deli and the AA awarded Redwood Bistro - both vibrant spaces where you can relax and be proud to entertain.

All residents pay a contribution to the running costs of facilities, support services and maintenance of the building and grounds which is known as the 'service charge'. The lease provides that each year you must pay ground rent which for the first 25 years will be £500 a year. The deferred sinking fund contribution goes towards a fund which we build up over time to meet the cost of major repairs and refurbishment works which are not covered by the monthly service charge. The contribution is payable on resale. 

We believe in promoting independence with dignity, whilst at the same time striving to maintain and improve your quality of life. We understand that life changes as you get older. There comes a time when some extra assistance may be required to help complete those day to day tasks which were once dealt with more easily. The village offers a comprehensive range of housekeeping and personal care services at various hourly rates through our registered homecare service and housekeeping team. This is managed through separate contracts with individual residents.
