A compact one-bedroom upper-floor apartment in Shirley, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. At 426 sq ft the layout gives a spacious bedroom and an open-plan kitchen/living area, plus a three-piece bathroom and access to a communal garden. Allocated off-street parking and secure communal entry add practical convenience.
The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and individual electric heating via room heaters. Service charge and ground rent are payable (approx. £2,194 service charge; £150 ground rent annually), and the property is leasehold with 994 years remaining. Council tax is very low and broadband and mobile signal are excellent.
Location is a key strength: Shirley High Street shops, supermarkets and frequent public transport links are within easy reach, with Southampton Central station accessible for city and regional travel. The surrounding area has many amenities but also records higher crime levels and pockets of social and economic deprivation.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base or an investor looking for a straightforward let in a well-connected area. The home is largely ready to live in but offers scope for updating to increase long-term value; buyers should note ongoing service charges and the electric heating system when budgeting.
