Set within a purpose-built over-60s development close to Shirley town centre, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living with communal facilities and secure parking. The block was constructed in the early 2000s and benefits from lift access, emergency pull cords and an on-site manager for added peace of mind.
Inside, the flat has a compact, well-laid-out footprint: lounge/diner with a Juliette balcony, separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage and a shower room. The interior shows some dated decor and would respond well to light modernisation to personalise the space and improve comfort.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with approximately 107 years remaining, service charge circa £3,436.96 per year and ground rent £399 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and prospective buyers should factor ongoing running costs into their budget.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize into a secure retirement setting near local shops, transport links and community amenities. No upward chain makes for a potentially quicker completion, but buyers should verify lease and service details with their solicitor prior to exchange.
