Bright first-floor flat with parking near Banister Park — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Freshly modernised throughout; move-in ready
Freshly modernised and set on the first floor of a contemporary red-brick development, this two-bedroom apartment offers an open-plan living space, private allocated parking and easy access to Southampton city centre. The bright kitchen/living area opens onto a Juliet balcony, creating a light, sociable hub for everyday life or rental occupancy. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room; the second bedroom and separate family bathroom complete a practical layout of approximately 750 sq ft.
The property is well suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance town-centre living close to shops, cafés, Bedford Place and Southampton Central station. Practical extras include gated allocated parking, lift access, double glazing and mains gas central heating. The location’s transport links (M3, rail, airport nearby) and proximity to University Hospital and local employers add commuter appeal.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with 112 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,900 and ground rent of £250 per year. The wider area has a high recorded crime level and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental values. The communal garden is modest and the site footprint is medium for a multi-unit block.
Overall this apartment delivers move-in-ready accommodation and strong convenience for city living, balanced against leasehold costs and local area considerations. It will suit purchasers prioritising location and a modern, low‑upkeep home — or investors targeting central Southampton renters prepared to factor service charges and local market conditions into returns.
