Set on the third floor of a 2007 development in the heart of Southampton, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers practical city-centre living with proven rental appeal. The open-plan living space leads to a timber-decked balcony overlooking local landmarks, while the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower. At about 690 sq ft, the flat is a straightforward, average-sized home or investment unit.
Built with double glazing and electric night storage heating, the property is low on immediate maintenance but will run on electricity-only heating, which can increase energy bills compared with gas. Leasehold tenure has 106 years remaining; annual service charge is £3,109.40 and ground rent is £200, so budget for ongoing communal costs.
Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space, integrated kitchen appliances, a useful storage cupboard and good digital connectivity (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal). The apartment sits within a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area close to shopping, transport links and local amenities, supporting steady demand for rentals or first-time purchases.
This will suit buyers looking for a straightforward, city-centre investment or a compact home with low maintenance communal grounds. Be aware of the service charge level and electric heating when assessing running costs and rental projections.
