Compact, modern apartment close to Shirley High Street and transport links.
Chain free first-floor flat in converted Victorian building
A bright, chain-free first-floor flat in a converted Victorian building, offering practical starter accommodation or a compact investment. The open-plan kitchen/living room is light-filled thanks to a skylight and fitted with integrated appliances and sleek cabinetry. Two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with marble tiles make this a straightforward, move-in-ready home.
The building benefits from period character externally (bay windows, high ceilings) and the flat has modern finishes inside, including double glazing. There is off-street parking at the front and useful built-in hallway storage. Lease details are long (125 years remaining), which supports future resale or letting potential.
Buyers should note this is a small apartment with electric room heating rather than central heating, and it sits in an area with very high recorded crime and above-average deprivation. As a leasehold property there is an annual service charge (c. £1,444) and ground rent (£167). There is no private garden and communal/urban surroundings are the setting.
For first-time buyers seeking an affordable, low-entry property close to Shirley High Street and Southampton city centre, this flat offers convenience, modern presentation and straightforward running costs. Investors may also find the short-footprint, central location and long lease appealing, but should factor in service charges and local area considerations.
