A bright, modern two-bedroom first-floor flat with a private balcony, designed for low-maintenance urban living. The open-plan kitchen/lounge provides a sociable footprint and good natural light, while neutral finishes minimise immediate refurbishment needs. With a 110-year lease and an EPC in the B range, the apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable city-base close to transport.
Practical running costs are a strength: a below-average service charge (£978) and very low council tax keep ongoing expenditure modest. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus easy access to Southampton Central, Millbrook station and regular bus routes — ideal for commuters.
Buyers should note material negatives: the flat is compact (approximately 539 sq ft) with no private garden and limited communal external amenity. Parking is on-street rather than private, and the surrounding area is flagged as higher-crime and relatively deprived, which may affect resale or rental yields in some buyer segments. The building appears modern and well-maintained, but prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own service and structural reports and check leasehold pack fees.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented city flat offering a low-cost entry into Southampton’s property market, best suited to first-time buyers or investors prioritising transport links and modern fittings over private outdoor space and quiet suburban streets.
