Summary - BRAMPTON TOWER FLAT 44 BASSETT AVENUE SOUTHAMPTON SO16 7FB
2 bed 2 bath Flat
South-facing balcony with panoramic city and New Forest outlooks.
No forward chain and very long lease (937 years)
Set high on the eighth floor, this two-bedroom flat delivers sweeping city and New Forest views from a south-facing balcony. The layout is traditional and well-proportioned, with a large living room, galley kitchen with pantry, two double bedrooms and separate bathroom and WC. A lift, secure entry and an included garage with power add practical convenience for city living.
The apartment requires full modernisation: fixtures, finishes and heating are dated and the building is a mid‑century, system-built structure with assumed limited wall insulation. Heating is electric panel/room units, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas systems. Service charge is currently £3,600pa (water rates included) — elevated this year due to lift works — so factor ongoing service costs into budgeting.
Strengths include an exceptionally long lease (937 years remaining), no forward chain and included garage and parking. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working; nearby well‑rated schools and the cosmopolitan student neighbourhood make it flexible for buyers seeking rental potential or a first home. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the views and evaluate refurbishment potential.
This property is best for buyers prepared to invest in updating: it offers immediate occupancy without chain and clear scope to add value through modernisation, especially by upgrading heating, kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
