This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Dawtrey Court offers practical, low-maintenance living for those aged 60+ within a McCarthy & Stone development. Dual-aspect windows bring good natural light to the modest lounge and bedrooms, and the flat overlooks well-kept communal gardens. Lift access, an allocated parking space and communal facilities (residents’ lounge, laundry and guest suite) add convenience and sociability.
The building includes a Development Manager and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system for added peace of mind. The property is leasehold with long lease length remaining (c.98 years) and is suited to buyers seeking a manageable home in a central Southampton location with strong local amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note the apartment is compact (circa 576 sq ft) and the kitchen and bathroom are dated and will need modernisation. Heating is by electric storage heaters which can be less efficient and more costly than gas systems. Service charges and ground rent are notable: the current service charge is above average and there is an annual ground rent, so budget for ongoing communal costs.
Overall this flat suits downsizers or retirees looking for community-focused, low-upkeep accommodation with communal support and parking; it offers scope for cosmetic improvement to increase comfort and value.
