Summary - ROSIDA GARDENS, 23 FLAT 1 HILL LANE SOUTHAMPTON SO15 5PA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, chain-free one-bedroom flat with garden access and parking — ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free ground-floor one-bedroom flat with garden access
This ground-floor, one-bedroom flat in Rosida Gardens offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Southampton living. The apartment is compact (401 sq ft) but well maintained with an open-plan living area that opens onto the communal garden — a rare plus for a city-centre flat. Allocated off-street parking and an on-site gym add everyday convenience.
The building is relatively modern (constructed 1996–2002) and benefits from double glazing and a secure communal entrance with lift access. The long lease (approx. 129 years) makes the tenure straightforward for buyers. Proximity to Southampton city centre and both mainline stations gives fast rail links to London and good local amenities for daily life.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the flat is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple; heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas; service charges average £2,324 pa and ground rent is £200 pa. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-oriented area with a higher local crime rate, which may affect some purchasers’ preferences.
Overall this property is most appealing to first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home or investors targeting rental demand from nearby students and commuters. An internal viewing will show how the compact layout and garden access work for your needs.
