Welcome To Imperial Apartments! The premier address for the bespoke and unique. Living in South Western House is more than just a choice, it is a lifestyle. This fantastic apartment has been beautifully renovated by the current owner and this creates a fantastic lock up and go apartment.

Situated atop the historic South Western House, once Southampton's premier hotel, this expansive apartment on the fifth floor offers stunning views of Queens Park and the docks. Extensively renovated over two years, this 1500sqft residence boasts three double bedrooms. The penthouse Mansard Suite, accessed via a private corridor, features an impressive Victorian fireplace in the spacious inner hallway. The open-plan living/dining area is adorned with original beams, exposed brick walls, porthole windows, and herringbone wood flooring, creating a captivating atmosphere. The well-lit kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances and an island, overlooks the rooftops and the building's original time-ball tower. The principal bedroom, with its own period fireplace, exudes spaciousness, while the second bedroom enjoys a newly installed en-suite. The third bedroom, also generously sized, offers versatility as a guest room or home office. The three-piece bathroom features a shower over the enclosed tiled bath with matching brick tiled splashback. Additional amenities include a study area with laundry facilities, a separate storage room, communal bike storage, and two secure allocated parking spaces. Meticulously refurbished while preserving its character, this apartment seamlessly blends modern comfort with historical charm, warranting an internal viewing.

South Western House, a Grade II listed building constructed in 1865, stands as a historic landmark in Southampton's old dockland area, witnessing significant events of modern history. Originally acquired by the London and South Western Railway Company in 1871, the hotel was strategically built over the ends of railway lines. In 1912, it accommodated many affluent guests before their voyage aboard the Titanic. Recently, South Western House underwent a transformation by Berkeley Homes Ltd and Bayview Homes, evolving into opulent, generously proportioned apartments. Offering panoramic views of the water and Queens Park, the property provides convenient access to the M27 and the city center. Oxford Street, a short stroll away, hosts a plethora of lively restaurants and bars. Southampton Central and Parkway railway stations offer swift connections to London Waterloo and the scenic New Forest.
