Spacious one-bedroom retirement flat with communal gardens and parking near parks and transport.
Purpose-built over-55s flat with house manager
Set within a purpose-built over-55s development, this one-bedroom flat offers spacious accommodation in a quiet, well-connected part of Southampton. The accommodation includes a generous living/dining room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and a three-piece shower suite, all arranged on a single level. Residents benefit from communal gardens, a residents' lounge, laundry room and off-street parking.
Practical features include double glazing (installed before 2002) and electric storage heating. The block provides a house manager and sits close to local green spaces, sports facilities, shops and public transport links, with fast broadband and strong mobile signal for modern living.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,266 and electric heating, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The interior shows dated 1980s/90s décor and would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes. Buyers should also factor in the flat’s built period (1983–1990) and confirm lease length and any communal reserve funds.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a low-crime, amenity-rich retirement location with easy access to local health and leisure facilities, who is prepared to update the interior and budget for service charges and electric heating costs.
