This two-bedroom second-floor apartment on Hulse Road offers a compact, well-laid-out home ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking city-centre proximity. The lounge/diner opens onto a balcony, and the flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an allocated off-street parking space — useful extras in a central location.
The layout includes a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. The kitchen is functional but compact and would benefit from updating to improve resale or rental appeal. The property’s total floor area is small (approx. 504 sq ft), so it suits buyers wanting a manageable, low-maintenance home or purchasers targeting the student/young-professional rental market.
Practical costs and tenure: the lease has 98 years remaining, ground rent is £25 per year and the service charge averages £1,589.76 annually (£397.44 quarterly). Council tax is Band C (£1,917.33 for 2024/25). The area is classified as a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood with excellent mobile and fast broadband — strong for rentals but potentially busier and noisier than suburban locations.
Location strengths include an easy walk to Southampton city centre, Southampton Common and local amenities, plus good nearby schools and transport links. Note the area records higher crime levels than average, which may influence family buyers and some investors; viewings are recommended to judge suitability personally.
