This fifth‑floor, two‑bed apartment offers an accessible city‑centre base with genuine lifestyle and rental appeal. Lift access, secure gated allocated parking and westerly views over Southampton Water make it comfortable for everyday living and relaxed evenings.
Internally the flat provides a bright open‑plan living/dining area with a fitted kitchen and integrated appliances, plus two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an en‑suite shower room while a separate three‑piece bathroom serves the second bedroom. The entrance hall includes a useful built‑in storage cupboard.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the lease has around 101 years remaining, annual service charge about £3,600 and ground rent £100. The building was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and has double glazing and gas central heating. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, which supports both residents and renters.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood: the area is a cosmopolitan, student‑dominated part of the city with high footfall and above‑average crime statistics, which can mean noise and variable tenant profiles. The property is offered with no forward chain, presenting a quicker move or investment start, but the service charges and local context should factor into affordability and rental expectations.
