53 Orchard Place

About this property

53 Orchard Place sets you up nicely for a break in Southampton, giving you a straightforward, comfortable base in one of the South Coast’s liveliest cities. Sitting on the first floor, this apartment suits couples or friends who want a well-kept spot to unwind without faff, while still having the best of Hampshire on the doorstep. The open-plan living area keeps everything in one place, cook a decent meal in the kitchen, sit down together to plan the day, or take it easy in the sitting area with the electric fire warming things up. The two double bedrooms are arranged with rest in mind, and the bathroom offers a practical setup with both a bath and overhead shower, so you can choose whatever pace you’re in the mood for.

Step outside onto the private balcony and you’ve got a pleasant corner for a morning brew or something stronger as the day winds down. With WiFi, electric central heating, and permit parking sorted, the apartment keeps the basics covered so you can just get on with enjoying yourself. Southampton itself brings plenty to the table, big-name shops, independent cafés, theatres, galleries, and a proper mix of places to eat. The waterfront is an easy walk, and the city’s maritime history crops up everywhere, from the old walls to the harbour views. The property is also within walking distance of the cruise terminal.

If you fancy something quieter, the characterful streets of Winchester are easily reached by car or train, offering history, green spaces, and that impressive cathedral dominating the skyline. Portsmouth makes a great day out too, especially if you’re into naval history, and the Spinnaker Tower gives you cracking views over the Solent. For a change of pace, Salisbury’s medieval streets and famous cathedral make it worth the trip. And if you want sand between your toes, Bournemouth is close enough for a straightforward seaside day with long beaches and coastal paths. Whether you're after culture, coast, or a bit of everything, 53 Orchard Place puts you in a handy spot to explore this corner of the South.

Sitting just south-west of where the River Itchen and the River Test meet, Southampton is a beautiful and lively port city offering a fantastic setting for any holiday in the UK. With a wide selection of pubs, bars and restaurants, as well as a number of charming cafés and tea rooms, visitors to the area can enjoy fine food and delicious drinks with a fun night out. There's also a number of well-stocked supermarkets and convenience stores answering all of your self-catering needs! Delight in an entertaining show at The Stage Door or Mayflower Theatre, or admire magnificent works of art at the galleries of John Hansard and Southampton City Art. With major links to the RMS Titanic the city is filled with beautiful memorials along the Titanic Trail and a grand exhibition that displays within the interactive Sea City Museum. See the striking Tudor-style timber framed that line the Old Town or spend the day shopping in some of your favourite high-street stores, over in the stunning state of the art Westquay Shopping Centre. The local landmarks of Arundel Tower, Bargate and the 14th century ruins of Holyrood Church are well-worth a visit, and the nearby New Forest National Park lies just a short drive away and makes a superb day out for the whole family. The property is also within walking distance of the cruise terminal. Portsmouth, Salisbury, Winchester are all within easy touring distance and are home to a wonderful array of attractions, whilst the city's train station provides links to Chichester and Weymouth amongst others.
