Direct access to maintained communal garden
Off-street parking bay plus visitor spaces
Compact size ~337 sq ft (small overall)

Council Tax Band A (very cheap)
A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom flat with direct access to a well-kept communal garden and a handy parking bay. The long 967‑year lease and low council tax band make this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer seeking a compact, low-maintenance home close to the water.
Internally the layout is traditional and efficiently sized: a lounge/diner with full-height sliding doors, fitted kitchen with a large walk-in cupboard, generous double bedroom and a modern walk-in shower room. Upgraded electric heaters and double glazing keep running costs predictable, but heating is entirely electric so factor that into long-term bills.
Practical considerations are clear: the property measures about 337 sq ft, so it suits singles or couples or those buying to let. Annual service charges are approximately £1,600 and ground rent is £120 per year; the flat is offered with a pet-friendly status. Flood risk is low and local crime levels are very low.
Positioning is strong for local amenities and leisure: Weston Shore and other green spaces are a short walk away, Woolston high street and train station are within easy reach, and Southampton city centre is just across the Itchen Bridge. For buyers prioritising location, low-maintenance living, and long lease security, this flat is worth viewing. For those needing larger living space or gas central heating, this is not ideal without renovation or relocation.
