Modernised kitchen with breakfast bar and storage

This first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a bright, practical living space in a well-connected Southampton neighbourhood. The lounge is generously sized for the footprint and the kitchen has been modernised with a breakfast bar — a good layout for everyday living or for letting. The main bedroom is roomy and both bedrooms benefit from natural light and built-in heating.
Practical features include double glazing throughout, a gas boiler with radiator heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property shares a communal garden with a private shed for storage, and on-road parking is normally available close by. Council tax is very low, helping to keep running costs down.
Important factors to note: the flat is leasehold with 83 years remaining and measures about 471 sq ft, so space is limited. The surrounding area shows signs of deprivation and crime levels are average; several nearby primary schools have Ofsted ratings of ‘Requires Improvement’. The bathroom is partly tiled and the finish is functional rather than high-end, so there is some scope for cosmetic upgrading.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance starter property or investors looking for a straightforward rental let. Its practical layout and transport links give it usable daily comfort, while modest refurbishment could increase appeal and value.
