A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offered chain free and priced for entry-level buyers or investors. The flat has a practical layout with built-in storage, a double bedroom and a living/dining room that leads to a functional kitchen. At 414 sq ft the home is compact but useable for a single person or couple, or as a rental unit.
The building sits within a residential close with a communal garden and on-site parking. Heating is electric (storage heaters and infrared panels) and glazing is double glazed; mains water, electricity and drainage are confirmed. The lease has approximately 93–95 years remaining, with an annual service charge around £1,750.84 and ground rent of £234.38 — buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Practical drawbacks are clear: limited floor area, reliance on electric heating (no mains gas), slow broadband/mobile signal in the area and a neighbourhood classified as more deprived than average. Local schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes and the wider area is primarily terraces and flats; these points affect long-term family suitability and rental appeal for some tenants.
For a first-time buyer this flat represents an accessible route onto the property ladder in Southampton at an affordable price point. For investors it offers straightforward letting potential given its proximity to local amenities and transport links, but the service charge and energy costs will affect net returns. Solicitor checks should verify lease details, service charge account and any planned building works before purchase.
