Set on the fifth floor of a 2018 waterside development, this two-bedroom apartment delivers direct river and Ocean Village views from a decked balcony. The open-plan living space, contemporary kitchen with 'A' rated integrated appliances and a generous master bedroom with en‑suite make it a comfortable first home or a buy-to-let with strong visual appeal. Built with an NHBC guarantee and an EWS1 in place, the building has contemporary safety and warranty credentials. Secure undercroft parking is included.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks plainly: the property sits in a high flood‑risk area and the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime levels. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and heating is via a community scheme rather than individual boiler control. Leasehold tenure applies (c. 242 years remaining) with an annual ground rent of £250; a maintenance/ service charge figure is quoted inconsistently in the material provided (a low service charge of £250 is listed, but vendor information records maintenance at £1,775.52 p.a.). Prospective purchasers should confirm current service charge and utility arrangements before committing.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a modern, low‑maintenance home with waterside views or investors looking for a visually attractive let near Southampton amenities. The location offers convenient transport links, local shops and leisure options, but buyers who prioritise fast broadband, private heating control or low flood risk may prefer to consider alternatives.
