About this home

SUMMARY An ideal opportunity for first-time buyers or investors, this beautifully presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment is set within a quiet residential development in Kern Close, Southampton.

DESCRIPTION The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall that provides useful built-in storage. The bright and cozy reception room is finished with neutral decor and soft carpeted flooring, featuring a large double-glazed window that floods the room with natural light. An open archway leads seamlessly from the lounge into a smart, modern fitted kitchen, complete with glossy units, wood-effect countertops, built-in electric oven with ceramic hob and space for free-standing appliances.

The well-appointed double bedroom features integrated storage cupboards, and a double-glazed window overlooking the surrounding grounds. Serving the home is a modern three-piece shower suite fitted with a spacious walk-in shower, vanity wash hand basin, and toilet.

Outside, the property forms part of an attractive brick-built development surrounded by well-maintained communal grounds and mature hedging. The flat includes its own assigned off-street parking space.

The property is being sold with an extended lease of 154 years, and a peppercorn ground rent of just £10 per year will soon be introduced.

Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
