A compact top-floor one-bedroom flat in Firtree Lodge, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The open-plan living/kitchen with skylights feels bright and modern, while fitted storage in the bedroom helps maximise the available space. Communal parking plus on-street options add practical convenience in this central Southampton location.
This property suits a first-time buyer or someone seeking a buy-to-let in a cosmopolitan, well-connected area close to Southampton Common. The finish is contemporary throughout, with a fitted kitchen and a walk-in shower room; the apartment’s 597 sq ft provides a sensible, low-maintenance urban home.
Be clear about the practical considerations: the flat is leasehold (approximately 105 years remaining), uses electric room heaters rather than a mains gas system, and has limited headroom at the eaves because it occupies the top-floor/loft space. The local area records higher-than-average crime, which may influence some buyers’ decisions.
Running costs are modest: service charge £815 (below average), ground rent £100 and very cheap council tax. No significant flood risk. These factors, combined with the chain-free status, make the flat an accessible purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking steady rental demand nearby universities and transport links.
