This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a converted Victorian corner building in central Portsmouth. The layout is compact and efficient (approx. 460 sq ft) with a dual-aspect reception room, separate kitchen and a double bedroom — tidy, neutral finishes and good natural light throughout. Chain-free sale and a lease extension are included, making immediate occupation or letting straightforward.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, all useful for renters or first-time buyers. On-street parking and proximity to local shops, bus routes and schools add everyday convenience. Council tax is very low, helping running costs.
Important drawbacks are material and must be considered: the flat is leasehold with about 61 years remaining — some lenders may refuse mortgages without a further extension. Ground rent is modest (£100) but the building’s cavity walls appear uninsulated and the property was built between 1930–1949, so insulating and heating upgrades could be needed. The neighbourhood records above-average crime and is in a generally deprived area.
This property suits a buyer who values a central, well-connected one-bedroom with immediate rental potential or a compact first home, and who can manage the lease situation. For buyers needing mortgage finance, obtain lender confirmation before committing; for cash or investor buyers it offers a straightforward, low-maintenance base with scope for cosmetic improvements to increase appeal.
