A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offered chain free and currently let, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The building sits close to Shirley High Street and Southampton central station, delivering easy access to shops, transport links and local amenities.
The flat is small (circa 319 sq ft) and practical: sitting room, double bedroom, kitchen with dining space, bathroom, communal garden and resident off-street parking. Main heating is electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing; there is no gas supply. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong in the area.
Important facts to note: the unit is leasehold with about 91 years remaining, a relatively high annual service charge (£2,484) and no listed ground rent. The property is occupied by a tenant paying around £730pcm (income to be verified by buyers). The neighbourhood shows above-average crime statistics and higher local deprivation scores, which may affect resale or rental demand for some buyers.
This is a pragmatic purchase: low entry price, immediate rental income potential and excellent transport links. Buyers should factor in service charge costs, the limited internal space and electric-only heating when assessing long-term running costs and refurbishment plans.
