Renovated, low-running-cost one-bedroom flat close to waterfront and city bus links.
New boiler, new roof and replacement double-glazed windows
A freshly renovated one-bedroom first-floor apartment offering straightforward, low-running-cost living close to Southampton waterfront and regular bus routes. The vendor has recently fitted a new boiler, new roof and replacement double-glazed windows; floors in the kitchen and bathroom have also been renewed, so the property is largely move-in ready.
The layout is generous for a one-bedroom flat — a light living room with a centre fireplace, a good-sized double bedroom and a modern-fitted kitchen with plenty of cupboards. At 555 sq ft, the apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact home with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential. There is off-street permit parking available for around £30 per year and no service charge payable, helping keep ongoing costs low.
Important pragmatic facts: the property is leasehold with about 105 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £100 per annum. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels; buyers should consider local safety and community factors. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may be relevant for longer-term energy improvements.
This apartment balances recent internal upgrades with clear contextual drawbacks. It will appeal to buyers prioritising affordability and convenience — someone who wants a tidy home now and understands the potential need to invest in longer-term energy or security improvements depending on their plans.
