Summary - 6 CARPATHIA DRIVE, SOUTHAMPTON SO14 3GU
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Affordable first-floor home near Southampton city centre and university amenities.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor apartment with parking
A chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a modern 1996–2002 development, offered with parking and a Juliet balcony. The layout includes an open lounge/dining area, an ensuite to the main bedroom and a separate family bathroom, all within an average-sized 666 sq ft footprint. The property is convenient for the city centre, nearby university and local amenities.
Practical running costs and ownership details are important: the flat is leasehold with 105 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,970 and a ground rent of £232. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which should be considered when budgeting for bills.
Notable negatives are clear: the block has no lift and the neighbourhood records higher crime rates than average; the location is classed as a cosmopolitan student area which can mean increased footfall and noise. There is a medium flooding risk for the area. These factors may suit investors or first-time buyers seeking an affordable, centrally located home who are prepared for the tenure and running costs.
Overall, this apartment represents an affordable, low-maintenance city-base or rental opportunity with immediate availability. Prospective purchasers should commission their own surveys and factor in service charges, electric heating costs, and local area characteristics before proceeding.
