Set on Clarence Parade in Southsea, this one-bedroom retirement flat occupies the fifth floor of Homeheights House and benefits from direct sea-front proximity and communal facilities. Recent internal updates have left the kitchen and shower room modern and usable, while the living room enjoys good natural light and a decorative fireplace. The building includes a communal lounge and kitchen, laundry, guest suite, observation deck, gardens and off-street parking with visitor spaces.
Practical points for buyers: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining and is offered chain free. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on individual electricity supply. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and the local crime level is reported as high — factors to consider for everyday convenience and security planning.
The apartment suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance retirement base near the seafront with on-site communal life and visitor accommodation. The modest internal size (approximately 387 sq ft) and single bedroom make it best for one person or a couple who prioritise location and communal support over large living spaces. There is scope for personalising the interior further, though major structural work is not indicated.
Overall, this is a practical, recently refreshed retirement apartment offering seafront location and generous communal facilities. Prospective purchasers should check service charges, confirm broadband options, and consider mobility needs for a fifth-floor level without assuming communal lift availability at all times.
