Set within a striking former Victorian villa, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment combines period character with practical, modern updates. High ceilings and a large bay window create a bright, airy living space; the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen works well for everyday living or letting. A neatly fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom mean immediate occupation is straightforward.
Outside there are well-kept communal gardens and an allocated off-street parking space—useful extras in this central location close to Southampton Common, Bedford Place and city transport links. The apartment sits in a mixed student and professional neighbourhood, offering strong rental demand and easy access to local amenities, shops and several highly rated schools.
Note the property is leasehold with 109 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £1,600 and a small ground rent of £250. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and the cavity walls are shown as uninsulated (assumed), so buyers may want to factor potential insulation or retrofit work into longer-term running-cost plans. Crime levels in the area are relatively high; purchasers should consider security measures and insurance accordingly.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located apartment suited to first-time buyers seeking period charm with low immediate maintenance, or investors targeting a strong city-centre rental market. It offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear scope to add value through energy improvements and cosmetic updates.
