Set on Abercrombie Gardens in Lordshill, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Southampton General Hospital. The open-plan living area links to a modern kitchen; a generous double bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe and the bathroom is a contemporary white suite. Double glazing and a gas combi boiler provide efficient heating and insulation.
At 503 sq ft with 92 years remaining on a 125-year lease, the property suits first-time buyers, hospital staff or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation with good transport links. Resident off-street parking and fast broadband add everyday convenience, and the council tax band is notably low.
The building dates from the late 1960s–70s and shows typical era characteristics. Some rooms have dated wallpaper and would benefit from redecoration and decluttering to maximise appeal. The wider Lordshill area is classified as more deprived than average, which affects long-term capital-growth prospects compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
Practical positives include proximity to shops, bus routes and the M27, plus several local schools and leisure facilities. Buyers should note the leasehold tenure (92 years remaining) and average local crime levels when weighing the purchase.
