When it comes to enjoying a comfortable retirement, a priority for many people is to find a convenient home that suits lower demands for space and easier management.

There can be few better places than a purpose-built retirement apartment in a complex such as Nightingale House at Havant Road, Drayton, a McCarthy and Stone scheme with features dedicated to making life easier.

Among these is a large communal lounge with kitchen area, a communal laundry, established and enclosed gardens, a security entry phone, an emergency alert system, and guest accommodation that can be booked at modest cost.

A ground floor apartment is now available at Nightingale Court through Town and Country Southern estate agency, with the lack of a forward chain hopefully making the moving process more straightforward.

Its accommodation includes a hallway, a living room with a door leading to a small patio and then into the communal garden, a double bedroom with built-in mirror-fronted wardrobes, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a fitted kitchen with an oven, hob, and extractor.

Guide price is £155,000 (EPC Band tbc). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
