Summary - IMPERIAL APARTMENTS 111 SOUTH WESTERN HOUSE SOUTHAMPTON SO14 3AL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
City-centre location with concierge, gated parking and high ceilings — ideal starter purchase or buy-to-let.
Grade II listed Victorian building with striking period detail
Set within the landmark South Western House in the heart of Southampton, this one-bedroom first-floor flat combines striking Victorian features with practical city-centre living. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and sash-style bay windows give the reception room real character, while a gated allocated parking space and concierge service add convenience and security.
The layout is straightforward and comfortable across 544 sq ft, with a double shower room and a kitchen fitted with essential appliances. The property is offered with a 98-year lease, an EPC rating of C, and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity — attributes that suit a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor targeting the city-centre rental market, including students and professionals.
There are important considerations: the building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or retrofit projects. The service charge is approximately £4,000 a year and there is a small ground rent of £50. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and parts of the living area show older single-glazed windows, so further upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located property offering immediate habitable accommodation, clear rental potential and period charm, but it suits buyers comfortable with leasehold ownership, listed-building constraints and higher communal costs.
