A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment set on the top floor of a Grade II listed Regency-style building in Southampton city centre. Converted in 2018, the flat offers open-plan living with a fitted kitchen, built-in appliances and gas central heating — a low-maintenance start for a first-time buyer or investor seeking city-centre convenience.
The apartment benefits from allocated off-street parking, an exceptionally long remainder of a 999-year lease and share of freehold, plus double-glazed windows and contemporary fittings throughout. Its 374 sq ft footprint is efficiently arranged: living/kitchen, double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. Council tax is low (Band A), keeping running costs down.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status means external and some internal alterations may be restricted and could complicate future works or permissions. The flat is small and dated only by the constraints of period construction—solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) may affect thermal performance. The local area records higher crime levels; buyers should weigh central convenience against this factor.
Service charge is approximately £1,009.25 every six months and there is no ground rent. The property’s central position — short walk to the train station and local amenities — suits buyers prioritising accessibility and low-maintenance city living. An internal viewing is recommended to judge space and character personally.
