This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an affordable first step onto the Southampton property ladder. The bright living room, two double bedrooms and modern kitchen make for a practical, move-in ready home. A small private garden with patio and two sheds adds useful outdoor space not often found at this price point.
Practical features include gas central heating, off-street residents’ parking and built-in storage in the master bedroom. The flat sits close to Shirley High Street, Southampton General Hospital, good schools and strong motorway and rail links, so daily commuting and local amenities are straightforward.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and an annual service charge of £800. The building sits in an area classified as very deprived with above-average local crime levels, which may affect long-term resale or letting performance. Internal space is compact at about 509 sq ft, so buyers should expect modest room sizes.
For first-time buyers this home delivers sensible value and immediate usability — low council tax and fast broadband help running costs — while investors will find straightforward rental appeal. A basic cosmetic update or careful staging would maximise appeal; any buyer should check lease documents and factor potential future costs associated with the estate and communal maintenance.
