Summary - Flat 2, 10 St. Catherines Road SO18 1LJ
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact, move-in-ready studio with garden access and strong rental appeal.
Newly renovated throughout; modern kitchen with breakfast bar
A compact, newly renovated ground-floor studio-style flat in Bitterne Park, presented move-in ready and offering strong rental potential. The open kitchen with breakfast bar and bay window seat gives an airy feel unusual for a small 344 sqft unit. Residents have access to a shared, landscaped rear garden and the property benefits from double glazing and fast broadband — practical pluses for first-time buyers or investors.
Location is a major draw: Riverside Park is minutes away for riverside walks and outdoor activities, while Bitterne Triangle provides cafés, shops and local amenities. Bitterne and St Denys stations are within walking distance, and the M27/M3 are easily reached for regional travel. Nearby schools include several highly rated state and independent options, adding wider market appeal.
Be clear on the practical details: the flat is leasehold with 103 years remaining, an annual service charge of £500 and ground rent of £50. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which may be less efficient and increase running costs compared with gas systems. Parking is on-street only and the property sits in an area with crime levels above average, factors to consider for owner-occupiers and tenants.
Overall this is a turnkey starter home or buy-to-let opportunity in a desirable Southampton suburb. Its compact size and electric heating make it best suited to first-time buyers, single professionals, or investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance income stream with realistic yields given the advertised rental potential.
