Summary - 61, Keynsham Road SO19 5EX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious apartment with storage and parking close to local shops and transport.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with private south-facing balcony
A top-floor two-bedroom flat offering generous internal space and far-reaching southerly views across Southampton. The living room opens onto a private balcony overlooking allotments, bringing natural light and an outdoor spot for relaxation. The apartment includes a practical utility room and a secure ground-floor storage shed.
The building dates from the 1950s–60s and shows typical concrete/brutalist construction; some parts may need refreshing and there is potential for damp issues in this style of block. Double glazing is installed but predates 2002, and the property will suit buyers comfortable with a mid-century block and light renovation to modernise finishes.
Important: the flat is leasehold with about 80 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on a lease of this length, which could affect buyers who require a mortgage. Service charge is £550 (below average) and council tax is very cheap, but prospective purchasers should confirm long-term maintenance plans for the communal building.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers and investors seeking a roomy apartment with good transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It’s close to Bitterne Village amenities, local schools, and bus routes, offering practical convenience while giving scope to add value through sympathetic updating.
