Summary - 3 Ophir Court, 8 Kent Road PO5 3EN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large one-bedroom flat, chain free and extended lease, minutes from Southsea seafront.
Minutes from seafront, shops, bars and cafes
Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian building, this recently redecorated one-bedroom flat sits minutes from Southsea seafront, Palmerston Road and local cafés. The apartment feels larger than average at about 58 sqm (624 sq ft) with a roomy lounge, good-sized bedroom and a long entrance hall that could double as a home study.
Practical detail is straightforward: the lease will be 125 years (seller has agreed the extension), the flat is offered chain free, and service charges are c. £1,658pa with a small ground rent of £50pa. Double glazing has been installed and the property is newly renovated, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Buyers should note the property uses electric night storage/room heaters (no gas central heating) and the building has solid brick walls with assumed limited insulation. The service charge covers communal insurance and maintenance; council tax is described as very cheap. These factors keep running costs clear but may affect long-term energy bills.
This well-located apartment suits someone wanting easy access to seaside leisure, transport links and a lively local scene — a practical, characterful base or rental in a cosmopolitan student/commuter neighbourhood.
