Compact refurbished flat with parking, private patio and separate office for remote working.
No forward chain; private ground-floor entrance
A compact, recently refurbished ground-floor flat with its own private entrance and no forward chain — an accessible option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The layout includes a bright bedroom, a fully tiled bathroom, a spacious lounge with sliding doors to a private courtyard, and a separate office ideal for home working. Residents also benefit from allocated off-street parking, bike storage and access to well-kept communal gardens.
Practical positives include a long lease (152 years remaining), new carpets and flooring, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property sits within walking distance of Shirley High Street and good transport links to Southampton Central, with local amenities and several well-rated schools nearby.
Buyers should note material negatives: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,885 p.a., primary heating is by electric room heaters, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. The area records very high crime levels and general deprivation, and the property faces a busy main road which may affect noise and outlook. The apartment is small (approximately 385 sq ft) and will suit those seeking compact, low-maintenance living rather than family accommodation.
Overall, this is a practical, move-in-ready urban flat offering secure parking, outside space and remote-working capability. It represents straightforward starter-home or rental potential for buyers comfortable with leasehold ownership and electric heating.
