Private permit parking (approx. £100pa) and off-street spaces

Light, practical and well-located, this two-bedroom first-floor flat in West End offers an affordable entry into a very desirable Southampton suburb. The lounge opens onto a south-facing balcony and the modern shower room has underfloor heating — small comforts that lift everyday living. Communal gardens and private permit parking add outdoor space and convenience without extra maintenance for residents.
At about 528 sq ft, the layout is compact and efficient: two double bedrooms, a modest kitchen and a comfortable living area. The property is leasehold with 137 years remaining and low annual permit parking currently around £100. Council tax is noted as very cheap, which helps running costs for a new buyer.
Practical buyers should note a few material details: broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. Heating is via a community mains gas scheme rather than an individual boiler. These points affect comfort and running costs and may warrant budget for upgrades if faster internet or improved thermal performance is required.
This flat suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a tidy, low-management home in a quiet, affluent neighbourhood with good local schools and strong transport links (easy access to the M27). It’s a straightforward purchase for someone prioritising location, outdoor space and low immediate maintenance rather than large living areas or a fully modernised energy performance profile.
