A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat offering comfortable, single-level living in a purpose-built block. The open-plan lounge/dining room leads to a modern kitchen; the master bedroom includes fitted mirrored storage and a sizeable second bedroom provides flexible space for guests or hobbies. Communal gardens, a residents’ room and off-street parking add practical benefits for everyday life.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with about 101 years remaining, double glazing, and electric storage heating. Service charges (around £4,000 pa) and a ground rent (approx. £425 pa) are payable; council tax is very low. Constructed in the mid-2000s, the block presents relatively recent build standards and modest maintenance needs internally.
Location is a strong convenience draw: short journeys to Southampton city centre, West Quay shopping and mainline stations, plus local shops on Shirley High Street. The wider area scores as deprived and nearby crime levels are higher than average—buyers should consider local safety and community services when viewing.
This flat suits buyers looking to downsize into manageable, low-maintenance accommodation with communal amenities and easy access to urban facilities. An internal viewing is recommended to assess room sizes, storage and the apartment’s suitability for specific mobility or care requirements.
