Summary - Empress Heights, College Street, Southampton SO14 3LB
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Modern top-floor two-bedroom with balcony, parking and no onward chain.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with open-plan living and balcony
Set on the top floor of the Empress Heights development, this modern two-bedroom apartment offers roomy living in the heart of Southampton. The open-plan kitchen/living room opens to a long balcony with panoramic city views, ideal for morning coffee or evening skyline watching. With two bathrooms (one en-suite), the layout suits sharers, first-time buyers, or investors seeking city-centre rental appeal.
Practical features include allocated parking, lift access, a communal garden and roof terrace, secure intercom entry and built-in storage. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits on a long lease (approximately 112 years remaining), giving transactional simplicity and long-term security for buyers.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated properties. The annual service charge is approximately £3,767.50 with a ground rent of £250 per year — factor these into ongoing costs. The wider locality is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with high recorded crime levels; this influences noise, footfall and the local rental market dynamics.
Overall this is a modern, well-presented city flat offering convenience, good broadband and excellent mobile signal. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting central living or an investor targeting student or professional lets, provided the service charge, heating type and neighbourhood profile meet their criteria.
