This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian terrace on Waverley Road, a short walk from Southsea seafront and local amenities. The flat benefits from large windows and high ceilings that create a bright, airy feel, plus a secure private rear garden — a rare outside space at this price and size.
The accommodation totals about 408 sq ft and offers straightforward layout and scope to modernise. It’s a good entry-level purchase for a first-time buyer or a compact rental opportunity for an investor prepared to renovate. Key positives are the central location, excellent transport links, and views over Waverley Gardens.
Buyers should note several material points: the flat needs renovation, the building dates from the early 20th century and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the local area records higher crime and deprivation levels. The property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £800 and ground rent of £100 annually. Council tax is very cheap.
Taken together, this is an affordable, characterful Victorian flat with outside space and clear potential for value uplift after sympathetic updating. It suits a buyer comfortable managing refurbishment and pragmatic about living in a busy, cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood.
