Summary - FLAT 2, 79 VICTORIA ROAD NORTH, SOUTHSEA PO5 1PP
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact modern one-bedroom with private courtyard, ideal for first-time buyers.
Open-plan living/dining with patio doors to private NW garden
This one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment sits in the heart of Southsea and offers compact, modern living with an enclosed north-west facing garden. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright through patio doors and is arranged for low-maintenance city living. At about 463 sq ft, the layout is efficient and will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a straightforward rental investment.
The property is recently updated internally and benefits from double glazing and modern finishes throughout. The garden is a useful private outdoor space for potted plants and casual seating; access from the living area makes the flat feel larger during warmer months. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local amenities and transport links are within easy walking distance.
Important practical points: the tenure is leasehold with about 92 years remaining, a service charge around £1,596 pa and ground rent £300 pa. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s cavity walls appear to lack insulation, which could affect running costs. The area has above-average crime statistics and sits in a generally deprived part of the city — factors to weigh against the property’s central location and low council tax.
For a buyer wanting a small, modern home in a bustling neighbourhood, this apartment presents clear value and minimal immediate works. However, those concerned about long-term energy performance, lease terms, service charges or neighbourhood safety should factor these into any offer and consider a survey or professional advice before committing.
