This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located on Craven Street in Southampton’s Bargate area presents a mixed bag. Its central location is a clear advantage, offering proximity to Southampton Central station, making it appealing to commuters, and several schools, making it attractive to families. The property’s size, at 679.20 sqft, is decent for a 2-bedroom apartment. However, the lack of outdoor space (0.00 sqft plot size) is a significant drawback.

The condition of the property is average. While the structure seems sound, the interior images show a need for some cosmetic work. Walls require repainting, and some minor repairs would likely improve the overall aesthetic and appeal. The kitchen and bathroom are functional, but a dated appearance suggests modernisation might increase value and attractiveness to potential buyers.

The price point of £145,000 is arguably competitive in the current market for similar properties in the area. However, given the property’s need for updating, the absence of a garden, and comparison to slightly larger properties on Craven street with a higher price, it is not exceptionally good value.

Overall, this apartment presents itself as a reasonable entry-level property, particularly suited to first-time buyers or investors who are not overly concerned by the need for some minor cosmetic improvements and the lack of a garden and are drawn to the convenience of city centre living in Southampton. Potential buyers should factor in the cost of renovations into their overall budget.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. Disclamer: This is our opition and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research.
