Summary - 72 WATERSIDE HYTHE SOUTHAMPTON SO45 6AB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, renovated flat with garage and long lease ideal for first buyers.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat, 343 sq ft
A compact, newly refreshed one-bedroom first-floor flat in Hythe, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge makes efficient use of 343 sq ft and has new carpets, fresh decoration and UPVC double glazing. A nearby garage and communal gardens add practical outside space.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave home close to Hythe village amenities, the marina and local transport. The long lease (939 years remaining) removes long-lease uncertainty, while council tax Band A keeps running costs modest.
Be clear on the compromises: the flat is small and uses electric night storage heating, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. Annual service charge/maintenance is £1,125 and ground rent is £1,050 per year. The building is mid-20th century and, although recently redecorated, the kitchen appears traditional and may suit further modernisation.
Location strengths include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, good nearby primary and secondary schools, and a pleasant riverside village setting. Crime levels are above average in the area, so consider security measures when viewing.
