Description Tenant Direct are pleased to offer this purpose-built two bedroom apartment on Portswood Road, available from July and ideally suited to students.
The Balbirs is a modern development in the heart of Portswood, one of Southampton's most popular student districts, with excellent transport links to both university campuses and the city centre within easy reach.
The accommodation comprises two generously proportioned double bedrooms, making this flat ideal for sharers seeking space and comfort. Both bedrooms benefit from fitted storage.
The apartment features two modern bathrooms, offering the convenience of an ensuite or additional facilities during busy morning routines.
The open-plan reception room and kitchen provide a contemporary living space for relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and finished in crisp white units, while neutral decoration and modern grey wood-effect flooring flow throughout the apartment, creating a light and cohesive interior.
Portswood's vibrant high street is moments away, offering supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and all everyday amenities.
Regular bus services connect to Southampton Solent University and the University of Southampton, and the property is well-positioned for students preferring to cycle.
With no need for furnishing or refurbishment, this flat is ready to move straight into. Council tax band and energy performance certificate details are available on request.
A deposit and references will be required.
