This well-presented two-bedroom Retirement Living PLUS apartment sits in Wheatley Place, a modern development designed exclusively for the over-70s. The first-floor home offers a generous dual-aspect living room with French doors to a patio, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and a master with a walk-in wardrobe. The finish is neutral and low-maintenance, ready to move into.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site services and communal facilities — a chef-run bistro, roof terrace, wellness suite, exercise studio and communal activities — together with 24/7 CQC-registered care staff and an estate manager. Practical features include an allocated parking space, ultrafast full-fibre broadband, an emergency call system and one hour of domestic support per week included in the service charge.
Important costs and practicalities are straightforward: the property is leasehold (999 years from 2022) with an annual service charge of £11,130.61 and ground rent of £510 pa. Heating is electric (room heaters) and the apartment uses a ventilation system; buyers should note energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The development is in a convenient Shirley location with good transport links, shops and local amenities.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking convenience, social facilities and on-site care options. It’s presented for immediate occupation but buyers should factor the substantial service charge and ground rent into running costs alongside council tax and electricity.
