Comfortable low-maintenance living close to shops, transport and the General Hospital.
Exclusive gated development for over-60s, 49 apartments total
Tucked into a gated development for the over-60s, this modern one-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living with generous rooms and a large double bedroom. Built in 2019, the flat benefits from lifts, well-kept communal gardens and an allocated parking space — practical features for independent retirees who value convenience and security.
The layout includes a roomy sitting/dining area that leads to a contemporary kitchen, plus a generously sized wet room suitable for mobility needs. On-site facilities include a communal lounge with regular activities and an on-site manager available weekdays, creating social opportunities and daytime support.
Practical costs are straightforward: a long 996-year lease, annual service charge of £365 and ground rent £495. Heating is by electric room heaters, so running costs can be higher than mains gas — worth factoring into your budget. The development is close to Shirley High Street, the General Hospital and transport links, making appointments and shopping easy to reach.
Note the local context: the immediate area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels than average. The community is lively and mixed, which may suit some buyers but could concern those seeking full tranquillity. Buyers should verify service charge and ground rent terms with their solicitor prior to purchase.
