Description

This property presents a rare investment opportunity for those looking to acquire the freehold of a mid-terraced building featuring two self-contained flats under one title. Located on the lively borders of Bevois Valley and Portswood, the property is positioned in a sought-after area that caters primarily to students, benefiting from proximity to both Solent University and the University of Southampton. The building is divided into two separate residences: a spacious two-bedroom ground floor flat and a one-bedroom flat on the first floor. Each unit boasts its own distinct layout and the ground floor flat includes access to a private rear garden, providing additional appeal. While some modernisation is necessary throughout, this offers an excellent opportunity for an investor to enhance the property's value through refurbishment. The internal space is well-proportioned, allowing for various improvements that could significantly increase rental income potential. This property is particularly advantageous for student rentals or high-end professional accommodation due to its location close to universities and essential amenities such as shops, bars, and restaurants along Portswood High Street. With strong transport links ensuring quick access to Southampton city centre and major road networks (M27 and M3), this property is exceptionally well-positioned within a robust rental market. Investors can target traditional tenancies or explore alternative rental models like supported living, which could yield higher returns compared to standard lets. This asset represents an attractive option for buy-to-let investors focused on long-term gains in one of Southampton's most resilient areas. Whether seeking a manageable refurbishment project or aiming to expand an existing portfolio, this property offers solid investment fundamentals with substantial upside potential.
