Summary - Flat 16 Capstan House, 38, Waterloo Road SO15 3AR
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Compact, affordable flat with parking near Shirley and the city centre.
Top-floor studio with Juliet balcony and fitted storage
Quiet top-floor studio with practical parking and clear short-term value. Capstan House sits just off Shirley Road, placing shops, buses and city-centre links within easy walking distance. The studio’s layout includes a reception/bed area with fitted cupboards and French doors to a Juliet balcony, a separate compact kitchen and a bathroom with electric shower — a simple, ready-to-use home for a single occupant or couple.
The flat is offered with a share of freehold and around 88 years remaining on the lease, plus an allocated off-street parking space — useful extras in this price band. The building is modern (1980s construction), double-glazed (pre-2002) and generally well maintained, while the apartment uses electric storage heating and mains electricity for fuel.
Be realistic about the constraints: the studio is small (about 27 sqm / c.302 sq ft) and best suited to minimal living or buy-to-let use. The neighbourhood is urban with a culturally mixed population; broadband and mobile signals are strong, but local crime levels are very high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which will affect resale and tenant demand. Prospective buyers should commission a full inspection and consider tenancy prospects carefully.
