A bright, one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built, age-exclusive development on The Avenue, 1.8 miles from Southampton city centre. The new-build apartment (c.593 sq ft) is designed for low-maintenance living with high-spec fixtures, modern kitchen appliances and options for private balconies or dual-aspect corner views. On-site amenities include a bistro restaurant, wellness suite and a guest suite, with staff available 24 hours and tailored care packages if required.
This property is offered as shared ownership (purchase share from £131,500) within a long lease (997 years). It suits those seeking downsizing within a sociable retirement community and who value easy access to Southampton Common and nearby transport links. Residents’ parking is available to buy; basement spaces are lift-accessible. Broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Important practical points: tenure is leasehold with shared ownership; service charge, ground rent and council tax band are to be confirmed. The local area records higher-than-average crime levels — factor this into security and lifestyle decisions. The development is aimed exclusively at the over-70s, so it’s not suitable for younger households.
Overall this apartment offers comfortable, contemporary retirement living with communal facilities and care options on-site. Buyers should obtain full details of service charges, communal costs and parking purchase terms, and consider a personal inspection to check layout and finish before proceeding.
