Flat 19, Flagstaff House, Southampton, SO31 6BJ

This two-bedroom penthouse apartment at Flagstaff House occupies the top floor, with a lift serving all floors within the building.

It's the sense of space that makes the biggest impression here, from the vaulted ceiling in the lounge/diner to the walk-in wardrobe off the main bedroom, which could easily double as a dressing room of its own.

Under a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, the lounge/diner is the room that really shows off the penthouse feel.

Velux windows on either side keep it bright for most of the day, and double doors open onto a Juliet balcony, ideal for some fresh air on a warm evening or a quiet coffee looking out over Heath Road.

It's easy to picture relaxed mornings here, or catching up with friends once the day has slowed down.

Fitted with shaker-style units and white worktops, the kitchen has a gas hob with a chimney-style extractor above it.

Appliances are integrated throughout, including a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, with an eye-level oven built into the cabinetry.

It's a practical space for cooking, whether that's a quick meal after work or something more involved at the weekend. Sitting under the same high ceiling, the main bedroom feels wonderfully spacious.

A fitted dressing table sits within the room, and the en-suite shower room has a clean, contemporary finish. The walk-in wardrobe deserves a special mention.

At just over 8ft by 6ft 10, it's closer to a dressing room than a simple wardrobe, with plenty of room to hang, fold and store clothes.

The second bedroom offers a comfortable double, ideal for guests, a home office or a quiet snug depending on what's needed.

A separate utility cupboard sits just off the landing, currently housing a freestanding tumble dryer, useful additional storage that keeps the rest of the apartment clear.

Parking is allocated and accessed via the archway to the rear of the building, with additional visitor spaces available at the front on a first come, first served basis.

There's a small garden area at the back too, shared rather than private, but a pleasant spot all the same.

Flagstaff House sits on Heath Road, a short walk from Locks Heath Shopping Village, home to a Waitrose, Costa, pharmacy, dentist and gp surgery, along with a library and a good mix of independent shops.

For anyone looking to downsize without giving up easy access to everyday essentials, or a professional couple after space and a low-maintenance lifestyle, this location works well.
