Kings Estates are delighted to bring to the market this well presented one bedroom ground floor retirement apartment, located within the ever popular Oakley Court development on Oakley Road, Southampton. Exclusively for the over 60s, Oakley Court is a purpose built development that offers independent living alongside a range of practical communal facilities and a reassuring, secure environment.
The apartment itself is offered with no forward chain and is presented in very good decorative order throughout. Access is provided via a secure communal entrance, with the development benefiting from lift access, ramped access, and wheelchair friendly design, making it particularly suitable for those seeking convenient and accessible accommodation.
Internally, the property comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to all principal rooms. The lounge dining room is an excellent size and provides a bright, versatile living space with room for both lounge and dining furniture. The kitchen is accessed separately and is fitted with a range of storage units and work surfaces, offering a functional layout for everyday use.
The bedroom is particularly generous, providing ample space for bedroom furniture and benefiting from built in storage potential. The shower room is well proportioned and designed with practicality in mind, fitted with a shower, wash hand basin, and WC.
Oakley Court offers a range of communal facilities for residents, including a communal lounge, kitchen area, and laundry room, creating a sociable and supportive living environment. Externally, the development benefits from communal gardens and allocated residents' parking.
From a location perspective, the property is exceptionally well placed. Shirley High Street is only a short distance away and offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, bars, restaurants, and day to day amenities. Southampton city centre and Westquay are also within easy reach, while local transport links and nearby railway stations provide strong connectivity across the city and beyond.
The property is leasehold with approximately 101 years remaining, originally granted for 125 years from 1 April 2002. The apartment forms part of a McCarthy and Stone development and is subject to the usual covenants and regulations associated with retirement living.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well located, secure, and accessible retirement apartment in one of Southampton's most desirable developments.
