Summary - Flat 64, Telephone House, 70 High Street SO14 2NW
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Modern fifth-floor apartment with parking and excellent transport links.
West-facing balcony with views over Southampton Waters and Red Funnel ferry
Bright, modern and sensibly priced, this fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance city home. The open-plan living/kitchen flows to a west-facing balcony with clear views across Southampton Waters and the Red Funnel ferry activity — an appealing daily backdrop. Both bedrooms are doubles and there are two bathrooms, one en-suite, giving flexibility for sharers or a home office.
Practical features include lift access, allocated undercroft parking and double glazing; the block was built in the early 2000s and presents a contemporary finish throughout. The location is highly walkable — close to the train station, city amenities, ferry terminal and a range of schools for all ages, making everyday life straightforward and well connected.
This is a leasehold property (106 years remaining) with service charges of about £3,100 pa and a ground rent of £200 pa — sensible for communal maintenance but important for budgeting. The surrounding area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood, which can bring vibrancy and occasional noise. The balcony is modest in size and better suited to a small table and chairs than large-scale entertaining.
Overall this is an accessible, ready-to-move-in apartment that offers waterside views, parking and good transport links. Buyers should note the ongoing service charge and leasehold tenure, and are advised to arrange a full inspection and review of the lease and accounts before purchase.
