This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Lordswood Court offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout includes a generously sized lounge/diner, two double bedrooms, a kitchen and family bathroom, plus a small private patio and access to communal gardens — useful outdoor space without heavy maintenance.
Practical benefits include an allocated garage, residents’ parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and an exceptionally long lease (945 years). Annual service charge and a nominal ground rent apply; buyers should note the average service charge figure and verify details with their solicitor. Council tax is described as inexpensive.
The block dates from the mid-20th century and is brick-built with double glazing fitted after 2002. The building appears well maintained, but the external walls are likely cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), so buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency may consider upgrades. The area shows higher-than-average crime and pockets of deprivation; suitability will depend on personal priorities and local knowledge.
Overall this property is a sensible, affordable entry point to Southampton housing — close to Southampton General Hospital, local shops, and transport links (M3/M27). It’s a good choice for someone seeking a low-stairs ground-floor flat with outside space and a garage, who accepts some communal costs and may want to carry out optional energy or cosmetic improvements.
