Summary - Kingston Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO2 PO2 7AZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal starter home or buy-to-let close to transport and local amenities.
Bright open-plan living room with contemporary kitchen fittings
This compact one-bedroom apartment offers affordable entry into Portsmouth’s central area, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-cost buy-to-let. At around 389 sq ft, the layout is open-plan and bright, with a contemporary kitchen and double glazing noted. The long lease (circa 999 years) and modest running costs—service charge and ground rent both about £100 annually—are practical ownership features.
The location is highly convenient with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and many local amenities and transport links within walking distance. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and the city’s waterfront, shopping and commuter rail connections are accessible for work or leisure.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood considerations: the area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime rates, which affects resale and rental premiums. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, so further insulation or upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
Overall this property suits someone seeking an affordable, centrally positioned flat to occupy or rent out immediately, with straightforward ownership terms and potential to add value through modest energy or cosmetic improvements.
