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.
