Compact, modern apartment ideal for a first purchase or buy-to-let.
Chain-free mid-floor one-bedroom apartment, newly decorated throughout
This mid-floor one-bedroom apartment in Dumbleton Towers is newly decorated and offered chain-free, making it an easy purchase for first-time buyers or a straightforward buy-to-let. The bright lounge opens onto an enclosed balcony that brings extra light and usable space. A modern fitted kitchen and new shower room complete the interior, all in an average-sized 484 sq ft layout.
Practical features include off-street communal parking, double glazing, electric underfloor heating and a remaining lease of approximately 86 years. The block was built in the 1950s–60s with system-built walls and external insulation; the apartment benefits from low-maintenance concrete construction and recent internal upgrades.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold — service charge, ground rent and review details must be confirmed by a buyer’s solicitor before purchase. The local area is classified as very deprived with a high crime rate, which will affect resale and rental demand. Transport links are good, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and the location provides access to Southampton city centre, nearby parks and sports venues.
Overall this property suits a buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in starter home or a simple investment if they accept the leasehold nature and local area challenges. Early viewing is recommended to assess the block and communal areas in person and to confirm service charge and ground rent figures.
