Benson Road, Southampton SO15

This bright and spacious purpose-built one-bedroom apartment is ideally positioned on a quiet residential road in the popular neighbourhood of Shirley, just a short distance from Shirley High Street with its excellent range of shops, cafés and amenities.

Set within a well-maintained building, the property benefits from a 999-year lease, peppercorn ground rent and no service charge, making it an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or investors seeking low running costs.

The well-appointed kitchen provides ample work surfaces, a range of wall and base units and space for appliances.

The spacious double bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows that keep the room light and airy. A built-in cupboard houses the water tank, providing essential utility access within the room. The property further benefits from a separate WC, accessed from the hallway, in addition to the main bathroom - a practical and convenient layout rarely found in one-bedroom apartments. The main bathroom is tastefully finished, featuring a bath with overhead shower, washbasin and WC.

Externally, the building is surrounded by attractive communal gardens and offers off-road residents’ parking to the rear.

With its prime location, long lease and exceptionally low outgoings, this apartment represents an excellent investment opportunity or first-time purchase in one of Southampton’s most sought-after residential areas.
