Description

One-Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment | Oxford Heights | City Centre Location | Excellent Buy-to-Let Opportunity | Proven Rental History

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a well-presented one-bedroom ground floor apartment within the popular Oxford Heights development on Orchard Place, Southampton.

The property is currently being operated as a short-term holiday/Airbnb rental, but has previously been successfully let on a standard residential tenancy, making it an attractive option for both investors and owner-occupiers.

We currently manage a number of other apartments within the same development, with comparable one-bedroom properties achieving approximately £1,050–£1,150 per calendar month, depending on the size, floor level, condition and any additional features offered.

Inside the Property

The apartment offers a practical and modern layout comprising a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, a good-sized double bedroom and a modern bathroom.

Being situated on the ground floor, the property also provides convenient access without the need to use stairs or a lift.

The accommodation is bright, easy to maintain and ideally suited to professional tenants, couples or those looking for a centrally located city apartment.

Oxford Heights is a purpose-built development with a secure communal entrance and is well established within Southamptons rental market.

Location

The property is ideally positioned within Southampton City Centre, within easy reach of WestQuay Shopping Centre, Ocean Village Marina and the waterfront.

A wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, gyms and leisure facilities are all within walking distance, while Southampton Central railway station and major road links are also easily accessible.

Its central location makes the development particularly popular with professionals working within the city centre, Ocean Village and surrounding areas.
