Set across two levels in a converted Victorian warehouse, this duplex penthouse offers dramatic high ceilings, arched windows and sweeping views over Southampton Water. At approximately 227.9 sq. metres (2,454 sq. ft) the accommodation includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two additional WCs, a dedicated office and a private double garage — a rare central waterfront home with substantial internal space and secure parking.
The building blends period character and contemporary convenience: original brickwork and exposed beams sit alongside a modern fitted kitchen with Miele integrated appliances, gas central heating and an access-controlled lift. The property is sold chain-free with a long lease (991 years remaining) and share of freehold, giving long-term security for owner-occupiers or buy-to-let purchasers.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context. Service charges are approximately £5,281 per year and ground rent is £100 p.a. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely lacks wall insulation — consider energy-efficiency improvements. The location is in a busy city quay area with high local crime statistics; purchasers seeking peace-and-quiet should factor this in.
This penthouse will suit those who value character, space and waterside living — families, professionals and investors looking for a standout, flexible home in Southampton’s historic Town Quay. There is scope for reconfiguring rooms for home-working or multigenerational living, but buyers should budget for retrofit or decorative updating to maximise comfort and efficiency.
