This chain-free, newly refurbished one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a ready-to-move-in home or a straightforward rental opportunity in central Totton. The flat benefits from a refitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing, upgraded heating, and one allocated off-street parking space — practical, low-hassle features for busy buyers.
The accommodation is compact (about 471 sq ft) and laid out in a traditional maisonette style with a bay-front living room that adds natural light. The property sits on the residue of a long lease (around 116 years remaining), with no management charges and a modest ground rent of £250 per year — clear ongoing costs for budget-conscious purchasers.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: heating is provided by electric storage heaters, the external walls are cavity construction with assumed no insulation, and the wider area records very high crime and higher deprivation levels. These factors affect utility costs, thermal comfort, and resale/rental perception and may necessitate future investment.
For first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry purchase close to transport links and local amenities, this maisonette offers immediate usability and modest running costs (very cheap council tax). It’s best suited to those who prioritise location and convenience over large living space or turnkey energy efficiency.
