Set within a desirable Southsea street, this bright one-bedroom flat blends Victorian character with practical modern upgrades. High ceilings, original cornices and a bay window give the main living space a spacious, airy feel while a contemporary kitchen provides everyday convenience. The property is chain free and sold as a share of freehold, offering straightforward buying for a first-time purchaser or investor.
Outside, a large private courtyard garden and a balcony provide rare outdoor space for a ground-floor flat in this area — a notable plus for socialising or low-maintenance gardening. On-street parking is available nearby, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
There are some things to note: the lease has around 87 years remaining, the EPC is a D and the bathroom is fully tiled but dated and may benefit from modernisation. Cavity walls are as-built with no added insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating costs until improved. The flat sits in a lively, cosmopolitan part of Southsea popular with students and commuters, so expect some local activity and footfall.
Overall, this flat is well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for period charm, a private garden and a ready-to-live-in kitchen, with reasonable scope to add value through targeted updates.
