A vital feature of retirement living is being able to take part in activities or just get out and about to be self-reliant whenever possible.

And that’s definitely to case where a recently-updated retirement property in Fareham is concerned. It’s on the first floor of Grade II-listed Northwood House, set at the heart of a scheme with an on-site manager and with residents’ parking. A footpath leads to Park Lane opposite the borough’s leisure centre and park while the town centre and its many shops, as well as its library and Ferneham Hall entertainment venue, are also within walking distance.

The apartment’s double aspect large sitting room is enhanced by a bay window and floods with natural light. There is also a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom in addition to a generous double bedroom.
