Summary - MAYFLOWER COURT, 3 FLAT 38 OAKLEY ROAD SOUTHAMPTON SO16 4HH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Easy access to shops, buses and communal gardens for comfortable downsizing.
Top-floor one-bedroom in over-55s development
This one-bedroom top-floor apartment sits within an over-55s development and offers practical, low-maintenance living in Southampton. The layout includes a generous lounge, double bedroom with built-in storage, compact kitchen and shower room, plus communal gardens and off-street parking. The building is modern brick and the flat feels spacious for its size.
Practical considerations are clear: the lease has 103 years remaining, but the annual service charge (approx £2,626) and ground rent (£365) are notable ongoing costs. The kitchen and shower room are dated and will suit someone happy with cosmetic updating rather than a full renovation.
Local transport and shops are very close by, with frequent bus routes and a wide range of amenities within walking distance, making everyday errands straightforward. Mobile signal and broadband are strong. Be aware the area records higher crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale expectations.
This property is best for an over-55 buyer or downsizer seeking a manageable, single-floor home with communal facilities and good local connectivity, who is comfortable with service charges and minor modernisation.
