Long lease two-bed ground-floor flat with garden — low running costs, ideal for first-time buyers.
Private entrance with courtyard garden access
A practical two-bedroom ground-floor flat with a private entrance and a small courtyard garden, well suited to first-time buyers or couples. The layout includes an open-plan living room and kitchen, a generously sized master bedroom with garden access, a second bedroom with French doors to the courtyard, and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. Double glazing and gas central heating provide immediate comfort, and the property is offered with a long lease of 150 years.
Running costs are straightforward: there is only an annual builders insurance cost of around £200 and no additional service charge or ground rent. Council tax is very low. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and there is no flood risk, making the flat practical for everyday living and working from home.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and the walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation; you may wish to budget for energy-efficiency improvements if desired. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, so consider security measures for peace of mind. Overall, this is a sensible, affordable entry into the Portsmouth market with garden access and a long lease that removes typical leasehold concerns.
