There is a resident scheme manager, and the residents' lounge and communal laundry are within the original house. There is an emergency alarm system in all dwellings and there is garaging discreetly grouped away from the properties.

Further Information

Upper House Court has been designed to provide independent living with the assistance of a resident scheme manager to take care of day-to-day management issues at the development. The service costs cover the management service and each resident contributes quarterly, assessed according to the size of the individual apartment or cottage.

There are good local shopping facilities in the village. On the 20th May each year the Square is closed off for the annual fair first enjoyed in the 13th century. There are many good sporting facilities in and around Wickham including golf, fishing, and walks in the Forest of Bere. Beaches close by can be found at Lee-on-Solent, Hill Head, Southsea, Gosport, and Alverstoke - all within a twenty minute drive.

Facilities: These include a resident scheme manager, lounge in the main house overlooking the gardens with tea and coffee making facilities, laundry and alarm and intercom system in each cottage. Garaging is grouped discreetly away from the properties.
