Set within an attractive Edwardian building on a private driveway in Bassett, this first-floor two-bedroom flat is offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The apartment retains period features such as high ceilings and bay-windowed living space, while benefiting from modern comforts including gas central heating and double glazing. A balcony off the bay-front lounge/diner and well-kept communal grounds create a pleasant outlook and outdoor space.
At about 570 sq ft the accommodation is compact and works best for a first-time buyer, a small household or an investor seeking student-demand rental potential—Southampton University is within walking distance. Practical advantages include a garage in a block, a share of freehold with 128 years remaining, and a separate fitted kitchen with room for appliances.
Buyers should note the relatively high annual service charge (approximately £2,747.15) which covers communal maintenance, and the property sits in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood that may bring periodic noise and lets-related activity. The flat is structurally traditional and has been updated with modern glazing and heating, but its smaller scale limits larger-family use and offers modest scope for internal extension.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful flat that suits someone seeking a compact, low-maintenance home near the university or an investor targeting steady rental demand. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the layout and communal setting.
