Step into a freshly renovated first-floor apartment on Eastney Road, minutes from Bransbury Park and the seafront. The flat has been comprehensively updated with a brand new kitchen, new shower room, replacement heating and electrical systems, fresh plaster and floor coverings — ready to move into with no forward chain.
The living area opens onto a small balcony, adding valuable outside space for morning coffee or fresh air. Two bedrooms suit a young couple, sharers or a buy-to-let setup; the layout is traditional and compact at about 475 sq ft, so rooms feel efficient rather than spacious. The property benefits from a very long lease (998 years) and no ground rent.
Practical points to note: the building sits in an area of higher-than-average crime and local deprivation, and the apartment is modest in size with limited storage. Service and maintenance costs are ad hoc and shared 50/50 with the downstairs leaseholder, so set aside funds for communal repairs. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer, investor or second-home purchaser who values a turnkey finish, seaside access and long lease security. Its compact footprint and local context make it an affordable entry into Portsmouth property, provided you’re comfortable with the neighbourhood profile and potential shared maintenance responsibilities.
