Large 3-bed triplex in a landmark building — character, parking and concierge..
Grade II listed Victorian triplex with high ceilings and large windows
Set within an imposing Grade II listed Victorian building, this large triplex apartment offers 1,314 sq ft of characterful living over three floors. High ceilings, tall windows and a dramatic spiral staircase create strong period appeal, while the open-plan contemporary kitchen/living space and mezzanine master bedroom add modern, flexible living. Two private allocated parking spaces and concierge service are rare conveniences in this central location.
The property is well suited to investors seeking a central Southampton rental or buyers wanting a character home with clear letting/holiday potential in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood. The 999-year lease gives long-term security, and the building’s central position provides easy access to transport links, shops and local amenities.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; service charge (£5,340pa) and ground rent (£350pa) are notable ongoing costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing is secondary — upgrading insulation and heating would improve comfort and running costs. The solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so further refurbishment may be needed to meet modern energy standards.
This apartment delivers a blend of period charm and contemporary layout with obvious potential, but it is best suited to purchasers prepared for listed-building constraints, above-average service charges, and planned investment in energy and internal improvements.
