ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Goadsby estate agents in Southampton are delighted to offer for sale this spacious two-bedroom top-floor apartment. This property occupies an enviable position in one of Southampton's most sought-after roads, perfectly nestled between the vibrant energy of the City Centre and the expansive green spaces of Southampton Common.

The apartment itself represents a fantastic opportunity for a variety of buyers. While it would benefit from a degree of updating and modernising throughout, it is a perfect canvas for a first-time buyer to create a bespoke home or for an investor seeking a high-demand buy-to-let acquisition in a prime rental post code. A significant advantage of this sale is the inclusion of a Share of Freehold. Although the lease currently has 72 years remaining, this ownership structure typically ensures that extending the lease is a relatively simple and inexpensive process compared to traditional leasehold arrangements.

Internal accommodation is well-proportioned and designed for practical living. The heart of the home is a good-sized lounge that offers plenty of natural light, complemented by a separate kitchen. There are two bedrooms, a bathroom and the added convenience of a separate W.C. The apartment further benefits from UPVC double glazed windows and electric heating.

Externally, the property includes a private garage located within a block on the grounds, providing secure parking or additional storage, a rare and valuable feature for this central location. Offered to the market with vacant possession and no forward chain, this apartment is ready for a swift and straightforward transition to its new owners.

The location is arguably the property's strongest asset, offering a lifestyle of convenience and leisure. Residents are just a short, pleasant stroll from Southampton Common, which boasts circa 300 acres of parkland, woodland and nature trails ideal for morning runs, dog walks, or afternoon picnics. For daily amenities, the bustling high street of Portswood is nearby, offering a supermarket, independent cafes and various international food shops. The property also benefits from excellent transport links, with regular bus services along The Avenue providing quick access to the City Centre, Westquay Shopping Centre and the mainline railway station for those commuting to London.
