Set on the third floor with a sunny south-facing balcony, this two-bedroom apartment offers an approachable entry into Southampton homeownership. The open-plan living area with balcony access and contemporary brick exterior give a modern feel, while allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add practical convenience.
The flat is offered with a long lease (114 years remaining) and no onward chain, which simplifies purchase timing. Service charges and ground rent are present (approx. £2,437 service charge; £250 ground rent annually), so factor ongoing costs into your budget. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as strong.

Nearby schools are mixed but include several rated Good. The flat presents workable accommodation for first-time buyers seeking affordability and potential to personalise.
There is some ambiguity about heating in the supplied details (both gas boiler and radiators and electric radiator heating are referenced); buyers should confirm the installed system and running costs. Overall, this apartment is best for buyers prioritising value, convenience and a straightforward purchase who are prepared to accept the realities of the surrounding area.
