About
Tenant Direct are pleased to offer this purpose-built three-bedroom apartment on Portswood Road, available from July and ideally suited to student sharers.
The accommodation comprises three good-sized double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own private bathroom—an excellent arrangement for shared living.
The open-plan reception room and kitchen provide a sociable hub for the household, with the kitchen fitted in a contemporary white finish and equipped with integrated appliances.
Neutral decoration and modern grey wood-effect flooring run throughout the apartment, creating a clean, low-maintenance living environment.
Portswood is one of Southampton's most established student neighbourhoods, placing tenants within easy reach of both university campuses.
The location offers excellent convenience, with a wide range of shops, cafes, takeaways and essential services on the doorstep.
Regular bus routes along Portswood Road provide swift connections to the city centre, Highfield Campus and Southampton Common.
The apartment forms part of The Balbirs, a recently completed development designed specifically for the rental market.
As a purpose-built scheme, residents can expect good sound insulation, efficient heating and a contemporary specification throughout.
With three bathrooms serving three bedrooms, morning routines are considerably simplified—a practical advantage often overlooked in traditional house shares.
This property is offered unfurnished on a joint tenancy basis.
Given the combination of location, specification and the rare provision of en-suite facilities to all bedrooms, early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
