Bright, modern one-bedroom apartment located on the second floor of a 2019 development, offering a generous open-plan living space with two large windows that flood the room with natural light. The contemporary kitchen includes a breakfast bar, light grey cabinetry and dark worktops; the double bedroom easily accommodates wardrobes and extra furniture. A secure, allocated underground parking space is a rare and valuable city-centre benefit and adds practical appeal for commuters.
This property is well suited to first-time buyers, professionals and buy-to-let investors seeking a turnkey home close to Southampton Central station, Westquay shopping and local supermarkets. Travel links are strong and everyday amenities, cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance, making city-centre living convenient and lively.
Notable practical details and downsides: the flat is leasehold with 117 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,750 and a small ground rent of £250 annually. Heating is electric (room heaters) and the area records very high crime levels and high deprivation; broadband speeds are reported as very slow. These factors will affect running costs and suitability depending on buyer priorities.
Overall this apartment offers low-maintenance contemporary living with secure parking and good transport links. It represents a straightforward option for someone wanting immediate occupation or a lettable city-centre asset, provided the leasehold costs, electric heating and neighbourhood considerations are acceptable.
