Summary - HOLLY HOUSE, 83 - 85 FLAT 7 OBELISK ROAD SOUTHAMPTON SO19 9DD
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact maisonette with parking and high ceilings near waterfront and shops.
First-floor one-bedroom maisonette, 417 sq ft
A compact one-bedroom first-floor maisonette in Woolston, offered chain-free and with allocated off-street parking. High 9ft ceilings and a roomy 14ft lounge/diner give an airy feel, while double glazing, gas central heating and a modern shower room keep maintenance low. The property also benefits from a boarded loft storage space and quick access to local shops, bus links, Woolston station and the waterfront at Weston Shore.
This sale is by Modern Method of Auction: completion is required within 56 days and the buyer pays a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, min £6,600). The lease has approximately 63 years remaining and this may restrict mortgage availability — the home is realistically suited to cash buyers or those who have confirmed lender support for short leases. Buyers should review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding.
At 417 sq ft the layout is compact but practical: an 11ft bedroom overlooking the communal garden and a generous lounge/diner make best use of space. Service charge and ground rent are modest (circa £600 pa and £100 pa respectively) and council tax is very low. The building dates from the early 20th century, offering period character but potential for targeted updating if desired.
This property is a clear choice for investors seeking a low-entry-priced rental or a homeowner with cash and plans for lease extension or light refurbishment. Be aware of the auction process and lease length — these are the key factors affecting suitability and financing.
