A newly re-carpeted and redecorated one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of Oakley Court, designed for retirement living. The development offers practical communal amenities including a residents' lounge, laundry, guest suite, landscaped gardens and a lift to all floors, plus a 24-hour Appello emergency call system and an on-site Development Manager for day-to-day support.
The apartment is compact and efficient at about 516 sq ft, with UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating — straightforward, low-footprint systems suited to a low-maintenance lifestyle. The building was constructed in 2002, has a long lease remaining and benefits from good local links to Shirley High Street and Southampton city centre shops and services.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of £3,072.72 and a comparatively high ground rent of £787.45. The property is leasehold (around 101–110 years remaining) and subject to the development's age-restricted purchase conditions (minimum age 60, or 60/55 for couples). Electric storage heaters may be less economical than gas alternatives, and the area has higher crime and deprivation indicators which some buyers will want to consider.
Overall, this apartment suits a retiree seeking a secure, low-maintenance base close to local amenities, with communal support on-site. It offers immediate move-in condition but limited scope for major change; purchasers should budget for ongoing service charges and ground rent when assessing affordability.
