Summary - Flat 3, 65 Cottage Grove PO5 1AH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bed first-floor flat — central location, leasehold, good rental or first-buy potential.
First-floor two-bedroom flat in central Southsea
A bright first-floor two-bedroom flat in central Southsea, set within a Victorian terrace and offering practical, well-laid-out accommodation. The southerly-aspect lounge/diner has twin front windows and laminate floors; the fitted kitchen and bathroom are tidy and functional. Gas central heating, double glazing and a combination boiler keep running costs manageable, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal suit students or home-working tenants.
The property is well located for Palmerston Road and Elm Grove shopping, local amenities and public transport — an easy walk to shops, cafes and colleges. Council Tax Band A and a 107-year lease make the price accessible; a communal shed provides useful external storage.
Important considerations: the building dates from 1900–1929 and sits in a higher-crime, deprived area commonly used for student housing. Walls are cavity-built with no added insulation (assumed), so further insulation work could improve comfort and efficiency. The flat is leasehold with a small ground rent of £100 and may appeal most to investors, landlords or buyers wanting a central, low-maintenance pied-à-terre who accept the area's character.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-positioned two-bedroom flat with rental potential or first-step purchase appeal, but buyers should factor in neighbourhood characteristics and potential retrofit work to improve thermal performance.
