This newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor flat on Carlisle Road offers compact, modern living close to Shirley High Street and Southampton General Hospital. Recent upgrades include a new boiler (within three years), double glazing and a contemporary bathroom and kitchen — ready to move into for a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor.
Practical features include one allocated off-street parking space, communal rear garden, private loft access for storage and mains gas central heating. At 388 sq ft the layout is efficient but small; the lounge and bedrooms are bright thanks to large windows and neutral finishes.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold with about 94 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,700 pa and a small ground rent of £100 pa. The local area shows higher crime levels and wider area deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term rental demand and resale expectations.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance flat in a convenient urban location. It represents good entry-level purchase potential or a lettable investment unit for buyers comfortable with a compact footprint and leasehold costs.
