This compact one-bedroom flat in Crombie Close offers an affordable entry into Waterlooville’s housing market. Set on the first floor of a mid-20th-century brick block, the apartment benefits from a long lease (circa 119 years) and allocated off-street parking, making it practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The accommodation is modest but well laid out: bright lounge, fitted L-shaped kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Interiors are neutral and functional, presenting an opportunity for light cosmetic updating rather than a full refurbishment. Communal landscaped grounds with mature trees give a pleasant green outlook and add to the low-maintenance appeal.
Buyers should note the property is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on electricity as the main fuel source. The home is leasehold with a small ground rent (£75 pa) and an annual service charge reported around £1,640 — factor these running costs into affordability calculations. The flat’s total internal floor area is small (approximately 307 sq ft), so it suits a single occupant, couple, or rental portfolio as a compact let.
Positioned near local shops, bus routes and schools with good Ofsted ratings, the flat is well connected for commuting and everyday needs. Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase for someone seeking an economical starter home or a simple investment with minimal immediate works required.
