Light, low-maintenance and purpose-built for the over-60s, this one-bedroom apartment at Bower Lodge offers a ready-made retirement setting in Shirley. Completed in 2021, the flat is compact (about 430 sq ft) with an open-plan living area, fitted kitchen and modern bathroom — ideal for someone looking to downsize without compromising on finish or facilities.
The development provides practical communal benefits: an owners’ lounge with coffee bar, landscaped gardens, guest suite, lift access, secure entry and an on-site lodge manager. Solar panels and EV charging point to lower running costs and support low-carbon living. Parking is available off-street and broadband and mobile signals are strong in this central location with a bus stop outside and local shops nearby.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and part of a retirement scheme, so purchasers should expect service charges, ground rent and building-management arrangements. Heating is electric with room heaters as the primary system; while solar panels reduce consumption, electric heating can be more costly than gas alternatives. The apartment’s small overall size suits one-person occupancy or a couple prioritising convenience over large living space.
This is a turn-key retirement choice for someone wanting independent living with onsite support and communal amenities. Viewings are recommended to assess layout, storage and the lease terms before committing.
