A comfortable ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the over-55s development of Mayflower Court, newly decorated and carpeted throughout. The living room opens directly onto well-kept communal gardens, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for relaxation and sociable moments. At about 625 sq ft, the layout is practical with ample built-in storage and a compact kitchen.
The shower is a wet room fitted with wall-mounted support bars and red emergency pull cords in each room, giving added reassurance for independent living. The building offers communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, lift and off-street parking. Double glazing and electric storage heaters help with thermal comfort though heating is all-electric.
This is a leasehold retirement apartment with 103 years remaining and an average ground rent of £365. Prospective buyers should budget for service charges, possible additional leasehold administration fees, and verify current service charge levels. The flat is newly refreshed so it is move-in ready, with potential to personalise finishes.
Located just off Shirley High Street, the development is convenient for shops, healthcare and frequent transport links into Southampton city centre. Be aware the local area shows higher crime levels and broader deprivation indicators; for many buyers proximity to amenities and community services will outweigh these factors. A viewing will best show the apartment’s suitability for quieter, downsized living.
