Ideal commuter pad near Southampton station and university amenities.
Bay-fronted living room with lots of natural light
Set just a short walk from Southampton city centre, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers practical living and strong rental appeal. The 519 sq ft layout includes a bright bay-fronted living room, a compact kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and a communal garden add useful outdoor space and convenience.
The property sits 0.7 miles from Southampton Central station with excellent local transport links and nearby shops, cafes and universities — a location that suits commuters, students and professionals. The lease is long (about 102 years) and there is a peppercorn ground rent, supporting buy-to-let or purchase with modest upfront tenure risk.
Buyers should be aware of material factors: the area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and tenant demand. The flat is small and the service charge averages £1,140 per year; broadband speeds are average. Overall this is a low-cost, low-maintenance central option with clear investment or starter-home potential if location trade-offs are acceptable.
Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising transport links, rental income or a well-located pied-à-terre; purchasers should commission surveys and verify service and lease details before committing.
