This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Millbrook offers a practical, well-lit home with immediate possession for buyers who value convenience and affordability. The flat’s 15ft lounge/diner and private balcony bring in good natural light, while gas central heating and double glazing help keep running costs down. At about 679 sq ft, the layout is traditional and well-proportioned for a first home or buy-to-let.
Outside, residents benefit from off-street parking and a useful outdoor storage shed — helpful extras in a built-up area. The building dates from the mid-20th century and the accommodation is largely functional; the kitchen and some finishes are dated and present straightforward scope for modernization, which will add value for owner-occupiers or investors.
Buyers must note a material concern: the lease has approximately 80 years remaining. That level of lease length may make mortgage approval difficult or more expensive, and buyers should seek lender confirmation before committing. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, so consider local services and safety when viewing.
With good access to public transport, shops, parks and reasonable nearby schools, the apartment suits practical purchasers seeking a low-cost entry to Southampton or a target for refurbishment. All measurements and services should be independently verified; prospective buyers are advised to obtain mortgage confirmation and a full survey before purchase.
