Summary - John Thornycroft Road, Woolston SO19 9SW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact two-bedroom waterfront flat ideal for first-time buyers and commuters.
21ft open-plan living area with Juliet balcony and modern fitted kitchen
Set within the modern waterside Centenary Quay development, this two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-presented home with a strong commuter location and riverfront appeal. The 21ft open-plan living area with Juliet balcony and fitted kitchen provides light, practical living space; both bedrooms are genuine doubles. Allocated undercroft parking and well-maintained communal gardens add convenience and outdoor space without maintenance work for the owner.
This is offered as a 40% shared ownership purchase (option to buy 100% available) with 116 years remaining on the lease. Monthly costs include a service charge of approximately £282.71 and a rent contribution of about £333.92 — important running costs to factor into affordability calculations. The apartment is leasehold and uses electric-powered heating and boiler/radiators, which can mean higher energy bills compared with gas-heated homes.
The location is a principal selling point: Centenary Quay’s riverside setting, local shops, gym, Lidl supermarket and cafés are all within easy reach, and Woolston station is only 0.3 miles away for fast access into Southampton. The area offers a mix of amenities and schools rated Good, though the wider area scores as deprived — a factor for some buyers to consider when assessing long-term value and community prospects.
This property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable riverside flat with immediate occupancy available via a completed onward chain. Expect a small overall footprint (around 567 sq ft) and communal charges; the apartment is ready to move into but offers limited scope for substantial internal extension.
