French Court, Castle Way, Southampton

Listed 6 Jun 2025 · price reduced 9 Mar 2026 · Southampton
We are pleased to welcome to the market one of the largest one bedroom apartments created in one of the most historic buildings Southampton has to offer, South Western House. The property comes with two allocated parking spaces.
South Western House is steeped in history and served as the main accommodation for travellers who were about to embark on cruises on the famous Titanic. It is an extravagant piece of architecture that encapsulated the wealth and prestige of the port at that time. The public areas are particularly beautiful, with a great deal of marble and elaborate ironwork on the passenger lift shafts and the staircases. In fact the main staircase was the prototype for the grand staircase on the Titanic. The building still shows evidence of the grandeur of days gone by.
The building is Grade II Listed and benefits from a 12 hour concierge and a lift.
The apartment itself is a generous size and features a modern fitted kitchen open plan to the dining area and lounge. A huge roof lantern floods the apartment with natural light. A large double bedroom with en-suite shower room and separate bathroom complete the accommodation on offer. This apartment also benefits from two entrances, air conditioning and a new boiler system. It is also not adjacent to any other apartments.
Upon entry to the building you are welcomed into a huge communal lobby flooded in marble and period features and on the first floor is another communal lounge where Churchill and Roosevelt once held meetings to discuss the D Day plans.
