A compact purpose-built studio in the heart of Southampton city centre, offered with an unusually long lease and allocated off-street parking. The block dates from the 1980s and presents a modern brick exterior and communal entrance with security entry and stairs. Inside is a simple open-plan living space with a compact fitted kitchen and a handy entrance cupboard for storage.
This property is located in a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood close to Ocean Village, Oxford Street and the city centre — locations that support strong rental demand. Connectivity is excellent: fast broadband, strong mobile signal and nearby public transport links and local amenities make it practical for short- or long-term lets.
Important practical points: the flat is small at about 351 sq ft and has electric storage heating, which can mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The interior is dated and will need cosmetic updating to maximise rental income. The service charge is listed around £1,000 (details unknown) and the property is leasehold with 998 years remaining.
For investors seeking a low-maintenance city-centre let with long lease security and parking, this studio is a straightforward, entry-level asset. Viewings are recommended to judge the accommodation and refurbishment potential in person.
