This bright ground-floor maisonette offers over 600 sq ft of freshly renovated living space in Bitterne Park. Period character meets contemporary finish: a bay-fronted living room with restored fireplace flows into a high-gloss kitchen with a practical peninsula and rear garden access. The principal bedroom enjoys pleasant garden views while a recently refitted shower room features a rain-effect shower and quality fittings.
Practical comforts include private off-street parking to the front and 50% allocated use of the rear garden for the ground-floor flat. The long lease (999 years, 997 remaining) with share of freehold provides ownership security, and the property is offered chain free — attractive to first-time buyers or investors seeking immediate occupation or rental potential (circa £1,250 pcm advertised).
Location is a clear strength: moments from Riverside Park and Bitterne Triangle’s cafés, shops and transport links. Nearby primary and secondary schools include two Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ primaries and a ‘Good’ secondary, supporting family appeal. Commuters benefit from close access to local stations and the M27/M3.
Notable drawbacks are stated plainly: the rear garden is shared and only half is allocated to this flat, which limits private outdoor space. Crime levels in the area are reported above average; buyers should consider local safety factors. Buildings insurance is handled by a mutual agreement between the two flats rather than a formal service charge, so confirm cover arrangements. Overall, this is a low-maintenance, characterful home suited to first-time buyers or investors prepared to accept modest communal arrangements.
