This two-bedroom first-floor flat in central Shirley offers contemporary living within a converted Victorian building, created in 2021. The open-plan lounge and kitchen with a bay window gives a light, social space for everyday living, while two compact bedrooms suit singles, couples or those starting out. Allocated off-street parking is a notable convenience in this central location.
Practical running costs and ownership details are straightforward but important: the property is leasehold with c.125 years remaining, an average annual service charge of £1,435 and a ground rent of £167 per year. Heating is electric via room heaters; this keeps installation simple but may mean higher fuel costs compared with gas.
Location is a key draw — Shirley High Street amenities are a short walk away and Southampton Central station is about 1.5 km, making commuting possible. Nearby schools include several good or outstanding options, which increases appeal for local buyers and tenants. The flat is offered chain-free and is move-in ready following the recent conversion.
Be aware of material limitations: the apartment is small (approx. 514 sq ft) with no private garden and a street-facing position close to neighbouring homes. The local area records high crime levels and higher deprivation indices, which may affect long-term resale or rental premiums. Broadband speeds are average. Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity for those prioritising location and convenience over outdoor space and low running costs.
