Summary - Flat 1, 5 Auckland Road East PO5 2HA
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Stone’s throw from the Common with private courtyard and parking.
Share of freehold with at least one off-street parking space for the block
Tucked a short walk from Southsea Common and Palmerston Road, this semi-basement maisonette combines Victorian character with useful practicals. High ceilings, bay windows with fitted shutters and a living room fireplace deliver period charm; the large double bedroom offers deep built-in wardrobes and plenty of natural light. The property is sold with a share of the freehold and at least one off-street parking space for the block, a rare convenience in this area.
Internally the layout is practical: a generous living room, a kitchen/breakfast room with courtyard access, a small office/utility area and a bathroom. The private rear courtyard is a low-maintenance spot for evening relaxation. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the property comes with mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note this is a semi-basement style maisonette in a block built circa 1900–1929 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated; further insulation or energy improvements may be needed. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some purchasers. Service charge is £188pcm (below average) and the property is in Council Tax Band B.
Well suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central Southsea location near shops, transport and the seafront, this one-bedroom home offers character and scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes. A structural survey and energy improvement quotes are recommended before purchase.
