A compact, light-filled one-bedroom mezzanine apartment in a converted red-brick former industrial building, located in the heart of Southampton. High ceilings and large windows give a loft-like feel to the open-plan living space, and the mezzanine bedroom makes efficient use of the 338 sqft internal area. The property suits a first-time buyer seeking central, low-maintenance city living or an investor targeting city-centre rental demand.
Practical running costs and tenure details are straightforward but important: the flat is leasehold with about 106 years remaining, an average service charge of approximately £2,200 per year and a small ground rent of £150. Heating is by electric room heaters, and the apartment has double glazing. These factors keep installation and communal maintenance responsibilities limited, but running costs for electric heating can be higher than gas alternatives.
Buyers should note material considerations that will affect decision-making and budgets. The building is Grade II listed which can restrict alterations and complicate consent for changes. The property sits within a high flood risk area — flood exposure is a significant factor for insurance and future resale. The internal space is small (one principal room plus mezzanine) and there is no private outdoor area, which narrows the appeal to single occupants, couples, students or buy-to-let investors rather than families.
Overall, this apartment offers characterful central living with strong transport and amenity access, high natural light and attractive industrial features. It is best suited to buyers who prioritise location and style over generous floor space, and who are comfortable with leasehold costs, listed-building constraints and flood-risk implications.
