This bright first-floor apartment in Mitchell House offers low-maintenance city living in a desirable Westwood Road location. At 376 sq ft the layout is compact but well planned, with an open-plan kitchen and sitting room and a separate bedroom for added privacy — an uncommon feature for studio-style homes. The flat is well suited as a first home, pied-à-terre or rental, given its proximity to Southampton city centre, transport links and local amenities.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a new 999-year term and a modest annual service charge of £750. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the home has double glazing; these features suit apartments where mains gas is not required but can mean higher running costs than gas-heated properties. The building dates from the early 1990s and presents period-style external features with modernised interiors.
Space is limited, so this apartment will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising location, low upkeep and easy access to shops, stations and the university areas rather than generous living areas. There is off-street parking and no recorded flood risk; crime levels are low. Investors should note the strong rental demand in this student and commuter neighbourhood; owner-occupiers should factor in the compact footprint when planning furniture and storage.
