Summary - Flat 1, 48, Shaftesbury Road PO5 3JR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two bed with private outdoor space, close to Southsea seafront.
Two double bedrooms, comfortable living space
Set just a short walk from Southsea seafront, this two-bedroom ground/basement flat offers private outdoor space and a straightforward, chain-free purchase. The living room’s bay brings light into a well-presented space, while two double bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping accommodation for a first home or rental let.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing, and a 727 sq ft layout that feels larger than many one-bed alternatives. The flat sits in an early 20th-century semi-detached building and benefits from a private garden with direct access — a rare find for this budget and location.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 93 years remaining, and ongoing costs include an estimated service charge of £1,200 and ground rent of £300 per year. The kitchen is compact and dated with a low ceiling and would benefit from updating to increase comfort and rental appeal.
Overall this is a sensible entry-level purchase or investor opportunity: close to transport, local amenities and seafront attractions, with clear potential through modest refurbishment. Viewings are recommended for those seeking a manageable project with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential.
