Summary - 18 KINGSLEY GARDENS TOTTON SOUTHAMPTON SO40 8ET
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Affordable one-bed maisonette with garden, parking and refurbishment potential..
Chain free first-floor maisonette with allocated parking
A compact first-floor maisonette in West Totton, offered chain free and ready for a buyer who wants a cost-effective entry into the local market. The layout includes a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a dual-aspect lounge-diner, separate kitchen and bathroom, plus an enclosed low-maintenance garden and allocated off-street parking. Electric heating and double glazing are in place, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
The property is liveable but requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic updating and systems checks are likely needed. Of particular importance: the lease started in 1984 and now has about 83 years remaining; this will need addressing sooner rather than later if you plan long-term ownership or mortgage finance. There are no ground rent or service charges, which helps running costs, and council tax is low.
Location is practical for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors. Local schools include an Outstanding infant school and several Good-rated primaries and secondaries. Commuters benefit from easy access to Southampton, the New Forest and the M27. Note the area records higher crime levels than average, so buyers should consider security measures and local checks before committing.
For an investor this presents rental potential due to low maintenance outside space and parking; for an owner-occupier it offers an affordable, small-footprint home with scope to add value through refurbishment. Key issues to resolve early are the lease length and the planned degree of renovation.
