1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Victorian one-bed with garden, parking and seafront close-by — buyers beware of flood risk..
- Large private rear garden uncommon for central flats
- Allocated off-street parking space

- Share of freehold tenure
- High flood risk for the area
- Local crime rate is high
- Ground rent £840 pa (expensive) — verify lease

This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian mid-terrace close to Southsea seafront, offering a private rear garden and allocated off-street parking — rare for central flats. The generously proportioned lounge/diner and separate kitchen give a spacious, traditional layout that suits first-time buyers, downsizers and buy-to-let investors alike.
Practical positives include share of freehold tenure, double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and very low council tax. Room sizes are generous for the square footage, and the rear garden provides a valuable outdoor space in a city location.
Buyers should note several material factors upfront: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and the local crime rate is high. The building is solid brick and was constructed before 1900, with assumed lack of wall insulation. Ground rent is listed at £840 which is high for a flat and should be checked with a solicitor. Lease and service-charge details, planning consents for any conversions, and appliance conditions must be independently verified.
Overall this flat offers good central location and garden/parking benefits at an accessible price, but it carries clear risk factors (flooding, crime, high ground rent and likely retrofit work) that will influence suitability and future costs. Viewings are recommended for buyers who prioritise location and outside space and who are comfortable managing or budgeting for the listed risks.
