Royal Haslar: Seven great reasons to retire to this historic property on the south coast
BEAUTIFUL SEAFRONT VIEWS, EXCLUSIVE AMENITIES AND A RICH MILITARY HISTORY MAKE THE PRIVATE HISTORIC PARK IN ALVERSTOKE ON THE GOSPORT PENINSULA THE PERFECT PLACE TO CALL HOME
A quiet village atmosphere, close to the sea, surrounded by classical Georgian architecture and exclusive amenities, it is easy to see why Royal Haslar is a great choice for anyone thinking of relocating to a unique historic location in a peaceful part of South Hampshire.
For 254 years, Haslar was a Ministry of Defence-managed hospital, opening in 1753 as one of three hospitals to provide care for sailors of the Admiralty Fleet.
After ceasing to be a military hospital in 2007 the Grade II listed site is undergoing a £150 million transformation by Haslar Developments Limited to create a unique luxury residential and retirement village with a selection of elegant one and two-bedroom apartments. Waterfront units are currently for sale through
Fox & Sons.
Its independent living apartments are designed for people who value their independence, but would like the security of knowing they have access to the best care the moment they may need it. Residents can opt to add a range of Assisted Living services as and when required.
Nestled beside the sleepy village of Alverstoke, Royal Haslar is a leafy 62-acre historic park overlooking the ever-changing Solent strait located at the heart of 17 miles of waterfront, marinas and beaches to explore and enjoy.
