This bright two-bedroom second-floor flat in Vectis Court offers spacious living in leafy Bassett, presented chain free with a long lease (947 years) and a share of the freehold. The open-plan living/dining room opens via renewed patio doors onto a private balcony overlooking well-maintained communal lawns—good for light and casual outdoor space. Two double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and the property includes two separate bathrooms plus an extra WC, helpful for shared living or guests.
Practical running costs and ownership details are clear: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,360 and residents’ permit off-street parking. Heating is by electric storage heaters and double glazing was installed before 2002; walls are cavity construction assumed without added insulation, so there may be scope to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are reported as slow.
Location is a strength: close to Southampton Sports Centre, Highfield Campus and well-rated schools including Cantell and Saint George’s. The area suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking convenient transport links, green surroundings and easy access to local amenities. The property’s layout and built-in storage make it practical straightaway, with straightforward potential to modernise heating, insulation and connectivity over time.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-located apartment offered chain free and ready for a buyer who values space, long lease security and proximity to university and sports facilities, while being willing to budget for energy and connectivity upgrades.
