This two-bedroom maisonette offers an affordable entry into Southampton’s property market with a sensible layout across two floors. The ground floor features a generous lounge and separate fitted kitchen, while two double bedrooms and a bathroom sit on the first floor—suitable for a couple, small family or buy-to-let portfolio.
Practical strengths include electric underfloor heating, double glazing, 732 sq ft of internal space, and a very low council tax band. The location is convenient for Bitterne Village amenities and public transport links into the city centre; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which suits commuters and tenants.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and additional leasehold costs or packs may apply. The surrounding ward is classified as very deprived with a high local crime rate, and the building is a mid‑20th century block with communal access and no private garden. Interiors appear generally tidy but dated in places—cosmetic updating to kitchen and living areas is likely needed to maximise value.
Overall, this maisonette represents a low-cost route into Southampton for first‑time buyers wanting space and location, or investors seeking a straightforward let. Factor in leasehold implications, potential service charges, and neighbourhood considerations when deciding to view or offer.
