Property description
Positioned along the historic St Swithuns Road in central Southampton, this striking one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette benefits from its own private entrance, a secure gated parking space, and a generous internal layout with bright, modern interiors throughout.
Accessed via a set of external steps, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a large storage cupboard housing the water tank and space for coats or cleaning equipment. The open-plan living area features two double-glazed front-aspect windows, flooding the space with natural light. This stylish lounge seamlessly blends into a modern fitted kitchen, equipped with high-gloss wall and base units, a stainless steel sink with drainer, electric fan oven, induction hob with extractor hood, freestanding washing machine, and fridge-freezer.
The double bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and offers excellent proportions, a rear-facing double-glazed window, an electric radiator, built-in storage cupboard, and freestanding wardrobe. The bathroom is well-appointed with a white suite including bath and electric overhead shower, WC, vanity-style wash basin, electric radiator, extractor fan, and neutral tiling.
Outside, the flat benefits from allocated parking in a gated private rear car park, as well as access to communal grounds and bin storage areas. There is no front or rear private garden, but excellent access to Southampton Common and city parks just a short distance away.
This home is ideal for buyers seeking low-maintenance city living with security, space, and strong long-term value.
