A rare Grade II listed duplex apartment offering generous rooms, high ceilings and original sash windows just 50 metres from Southampton High Street. The property's period features — ornate coving, marble fireplace and tall windows — create a bright, characterful living space across ground and lower-ground floors.
At approximately 729 sq ft this one-bedroom home is unusually large for the area and suits a first-time buyer, city pied-à-terre or buy-to-let investor seeking a character asset in a busy, well-served location. Practical elements include built-in bedroom storage, a functional kitchen with gas hob and an external storage area to the rear.
Buyers should note material considerations: the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate permissions or maintenance. The flat is leasehold, local area crime levels are very high, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
This property offers immediate central living with strong scope to add value through sympathetic updating where permitted. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, ceiling heights and original detail which are difficult to convey in description alone.
