A spacious two-bedroom period flat in central Southampton, this ground/second-floor conversion combines high ceilings, generous rooms and strong natural light. The main lounge extends to approximately 24 feet and the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite and large fitted dressing area, making it a comfortable first home for a couple or a long-term rental for investors.
The building offers communal amenities including a secure bike store, shared parking (non-demised) and a communal garden. Practical features include secondary glazing and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. The long lease (103 years) provides tenure security; note a ground rent of £250 currently applies and is due to rise by £500pa in three years. Annual service charges average £2,800 and council tax is above average.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect working-from-home needs. The property sits in a solid-brick terrace (likely uninsulated walls) and, while characterful, may benefit from targeted upgrading or insulation works. Overall, this is a well-proportioned period apartment in a city-centre spot, suited to first-time buyers seeking space and character or landlords targeting high rental demand.
