This first-floor one-bedroom flat in Woodside Court offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home or rental close to Portswood amenities and transport links. The accommodation is freshly decorated with a spacious lounge, a fitted kitchen and a modern shower room — ready to occupy or let immediately. The long lease (remainder of 999 years) and chain-free position simplify purchase.
Practicalities are clear: compact footprint (approx. 388 sq ft) and electric room heaters mean running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The building dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing installed before 2002; cavity walls are recorded as having no added insulation. Service charge and nominal ground rent apply (approx. £1,340pa service charge, £7.50pa ground rent).
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to local shops, public transport and several schools. The neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators — this suits investors targeting rental demand or first-time buyers wanting central, affordable city living, but may not suit those seeking a quiet suburb.
Overall this is a practical, low-entry purchase with immediate rental or residential use. Buyers should factor in potential improvements (insulation, heating upgrade) and verify service and lease details; a professional survey is recommended to confirm the condition and running costs.
