Weclome to Empress Heights...

Welcome to Empress Heights, where modern apartment living meets an incredibly convenient Southampton location. Positioned on the third floor and presented in an excellent, clean and contemporary condition throughout, this fantastic two-bedroom apartment is available from November on an unfurnished basis.

With two double bedrooms, a sleek open-plan living space, private balcony and the added benefit of a superb communal roof terrace located on the same floor, there is plenty here to set this apartment apart. Whether you are a Single occupant preferred looking for additional home-working space, a couple, two sharers or a small family, this is a versatile home that should appeal to a wide range of tenants.

Location

Empress Heights enjoys a fantastic position within easy reach of some of Southampton’s most popular destinations. Ocean Village Marina is just a short stroll away, offering an excellent selection of restaurants, cafés and bars, alongside the prestigious Harbour Hotel and its impressive waterfront setting.

Oxford Street is also within easy reach, providing further restaurants and places to socialise, while Southampton city centre is only a short walk away for an extensive choice of shopping, leisure facilities and everyday amenities.

For professionals, the location offers excellent convenience, with good access to local transport links and the wider road network, while nearby green spaces and the waterfront provide plenty of opportunity to escape the city when required. It is a location that strikes a great balance between city-centre convenience and a more relaxed waterside lifestyle.

Property

Empress Heights itself benefits from multiple entrance and access points for added convenience, while the building is currently undergoing upgrades to its entrance and intercom systems, providing an additional enhancement to the security and accessibility of the block.

Step inside the apartment and you are welcomed by a pleasantly sized entrance hallway, providing access to each of the main rooms. Unlike some apartment entrances, there is enough space here to comfortably accommodate coats and shoes, while a useful storage cupboard provides further practical storage and houses the provided washing machine.

Turning left from the hallway brings you into arguably the standout room of the apartment: The impressive open-plan kitchen and living space. The kitchen has been finished in a sleek, modern design and includes a range of integrated appliances, creating a clean and streamlined appearance while retaining plenty of practicality.

The living area offers ample room to create separate spaces for relaxing and dining, with an abundance of natural light pouring through the large window and glazed door. From here, you can step directly onto your own private balcony, providing a welcome outdoor extension to the apartment and a great spot to enjoy some fresh air.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the principal bedroom being the larger of the two. The second bedroom offers plenty of flexibility and could work equally well as a guest room, home office or full-time second bedroom, making the apartment particularly adaptable to different lifestyles.

The accommodation is completed by the bathroom, which continues the clean and contemporary feel found throughout the property. It features a modern three-piece suite with a shower positioned over the bath.

One of the apartment’s biggest bonuses can be found just outside the front door. Located on the same floor is a fantastic communal roof terrace for residents to enjoy. Featuring a combination of a paved area, artificial lawn and several seating benches, it provides a brilliant additional outdoor space for relaxing away from the apartment. It is certainly not something you find in every development and is a genuine added benefit of living at Empress Heights.

Summary

This is a superb opportunity to secure a modern, well-presented apartment in an increasingly popular part of Southampton. The combination of two genuine double bedrooms, open-plan living, a private balcony and the fantastic communal roof terrace makes this a particularly well-rounded home.

Add in the proximity to Ocean Village, Oxford Street and Southampton city centre, and you have an apartment that delivers both lifestyle and convenience. Available unfurnished from November, we expect Empress Heights to attract interest from professionals, couples, sharers and small families alike, so an early viewing is highly recommended.
