Set in Ocean Village, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers striking water views and a large balcony — perfect for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a desirable waterfront address. The home benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows, an independent kitchen, allocated off-street parking and a long lease (159 years), with no onward chain to simplify purchase.
Practical costs and local character are clear: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £3,436 and ground rent of £275 pa, and council tax is above average. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area and local crime rates are high; this can affect daytime activity and rental profiles but also supports strong tenant demand from students and young professionals.
Built after 2007 with double glazing and electric boiler/radiator heating, the flat is modern in finish and average in size (approx. 828 sq ft). There is no flooding risk and the property is chain-free, making it straightforward to move into or let quickly. Investors should factor running costs and neighbourhood dynamics into yield calculations; first-time buyers will appreciate the long lease and immediate waterfront appeal.
Viewings are recommended to fully appreciate the water aspect and balcony orientation. The apartment represents a practical entry into a sought-after Southampton location, offering immediate lifestyle benefits but requiring awareness of service charges, ground rent, and the urban student environment.
