The site for this Retirement Living property is in the centre of Hook, Hampshire. Named the 'Best Place to Live in the UK' in Halifax's Quality of Life Survey from 2011 to 2015, the village received this accolade owing to the wellbeing of its inhabitants, its low crime rates and even its good weather.
The designs are for a fairly small development (with 19 one-bed and 18 two-bed apartments), reflecting the close-knit community feel of the village. At its heart will be a welcoming communal lounge, where homeowners can chit-chat or spend time socialising during events organised by the House Manager, who'll also oversee the development's day-to-day running. There will also be a beautifully landscaped garden in which homeowners can make the most of the town's renowned good weather.
Buying an apartment here at our Hook development will see you freed of some of the burdens of upkeep of a large family home, as all buildings maintenance is taken care of. Yet you'll also be able to maintain your independence. Plus, with security systems in place, you can feel confident that your apartment is safe and secure, whether you're at home or away.
The village offers a range of local amenities and the development site is conveniently located close to a supermarket. What's more, Hook has great transport links, what with easy access to the M3 and the local railway station making London Waterloo reachable in less than an hour. So, with onsite car parking and a scooter room, it'll be easy to travel around, both near and far.

What is an Assured Tenancy?
Assured Tenancy means that you agree to rent the property for a minimum term of 12 months, but after that you can leave at any time as long as you give two months written notice. We can’t ask you to leave unless you have broken the terms of the agreement.
I want to rent. What checks do you carry out and what do I need to prepare?
We’ll ask you to complete a Rental Application Pack and an Income and Expenditure form to get the information we need to do standard background checks. You’ll be asked for proof of income, savings and/or pensions, along with copies of your last three months’ bank statements. You’ll be asked to provide identification documentation that complies with the latest Government Right to Rent regulations – our sales consultants will talk you through what you need.
Do I need to pay a reservation deposit?
Yes, you will need to pay a small refundable reservation deposit to reserve the property. You will also have to pay a security deposit equivalent to five weeks rent when you move in.
What do I have to pay before moving in?
Before you can move into your property, you will need to pay the first month’s rent together with your security deposit, minus the reservation deposit you’ve already paid.
The security deposit is equivalent to five weeks rent. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you know the exact amount you need to pay in plenty of time.
McCarthy Stone is part of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, membership number G10625. Download the Tenancy Deposit Scheme leaflet.
What date are rental payments due?
All rental payments are due on the 1st of each month and must be paid by direct debit. Your rent includes all of the development’s service charges, ground rents and property maintenance.

Living in Hook
Situated between Basingstoke and Fleet, Hook is a growing village that has retained its community feel, with plenty of local activities, from Brownies to ballroom dancing. It is also surrounded on all sides by picturesque countryside, quaint villages and charming country pubs. Rotherwick is home to the lavish Tylney Hall Country House Hotel and Gardens, as well as an attractive village hall in the Arts and Crafts style. Newnham features a typical pretty village green, North Warnborough offers beautiful canal-side walks and Greywell is a past winner of the best-kept village in Hampshire.
Originally built to connect Basingstoke to the River Thames, the Basingstoke Canal winds through idyllic countryside passing through the pretty market town of Odiham. Enjoy a relaxing cruise on the canal with John Pinkerton Canal Cruises and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Travelling at less than 3mph, there's plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and all cruises operate a fully licensed bar. You can book onto a cruise (with various options available) or even charter a trip!
If you have a special occasion on the horizon, or even just fancy a day of pampering, the Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire is just 5 miles outside the village.
