Set within an attractive converted Victorian building, this 1-bedroom second-floor flat combines period character with practical essentials for a first home. The reception room and kitchen are well-proportioned, high ceilings and large windows bring light, and the long lease (990 years) removes common leasehold anxieties.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space and a manageable one-bedroom layout across about 548 sq ft. The kitchen and bathroom are fitted and ready for immediate use; the apartment suits someone wanting a straightforward, low-maintenance starter home or a buy-to-let opportunity in the city.
Buyers should note the flat is Grade II listed, which preserves character but restricts alterations and may complicate renovations. The property has electric heating and a relatively high annual service charge (£248.43/month), so budget for communal costs. The building sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and marked socio-economic challenges; viewings and local checks are recommended.
Overall this is a practical, characterful one-bedroom with long lease security and parking — a sensible option for a first-time buyer or investor who values period features and central Portsmouth location but accepts listed building constraints and service charges.
