1 bedroom Flat For Sale

An ideal purchase for a first time buyer, this wonderful one bedroom flat is located at the bottom of the Shirley Road, with the Central Train station and the city centre within walking distance.  The flat is at the rear of the building on the first floor, with a secure intercom system and accessed via stairs.  Well laid out and neutrally decorated throughout, it provides a blank palette on which to put your own personal touch. 

The main living area is an open plan arrangement with a comfortable space to relax after a hard day's work and the modern fitted kitchen with good cupboard & worktop space, plus appliances, where you can test your inner chef to rustle up a snack or a feast.  There is space for a small dining table and the balcony helps to bring the sunshine in giving the whole room a bright & airy feel.  The double bedroom is a good size and completing the accommodation is the familiy bathroom with shower over bath arrangement.  And for those necessary household appliances, there are two storage cupboards in the hallway.    

Located at the bottom of the Shirley Road there is a good choise of amenities with the supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, theatres & nightclubs of the city centre all within walking distance plus a number of local shops closeby. There is good public transport to take you to the hospital, university and airport by bus and further afield to enjoy the New Forest, Winchester, Portsmouth and London by train.
