This ground-floor, two-bedroom leasehold apartment sits in a well-kept red-brick development in Highfield, close to Portswood and Southampton city centre. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite; the layout includes an open-plan living/dining area with patio doors onto the communal gardens and allocated off-street parking.
The flat is presented in modest, liveable condition and will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The building has double glazing and a C-rated EPC; mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators provides reliable heating. The accommodation totals approximately 773 sq ft and sits within a longer 125-year lease started in 2002.
Practical costs and commitments are important: service charge (£578 every six months) and ground rent (£85 pa) apply. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, and internal presentation is generally average — expect only minor cosmetic updating rather than full refurbishment. There is no flood risk and local amenities, schools and transport links are within easy reach.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located property offering immediate occupation or steady rental income, with scope to add value through cosmetic improvements and modernisation.
