Comfortable one-bedroom retirement flat with extensive communal facilities and sea-fringe convenience.
Seafront location opposite Southsea Common, west-facing harbour views
Set on Clarence Parade directly opposite Southsea Common, this one-bedroom retirement apartment on the ninth floor offers exceptionally convenient seafront living and long westerly views across the Common towards Portsmouth Harbour and the Isle of Wight. The development was purpose-built for older residents and provides a wide range of communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite, observation deck, communal gardens and on-site parking.
The flat is well arranged for its size with a generous living area that includes an open kitchen, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a modern shower room. Practical features include a security entry system, twin lifts to upper floors, emergency pull-cord, and useful built-in storage. The west-facing windows bring good afternoon light and make the living room the natural focal point.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £3,940 per year, and a ground rent of about £550 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the glazing was installed before 2002 — both factors that may affect running costs. The block sits in an area with higher recorded crime rates, which prospective buyers should consider.
Overall this apartment will suit a retired buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-serviced base in central Southsea with extensive communal support and excellent walkable amenities. Buyers looking for long lease security or lower ongoing charges should weigh the remaining lease length and annual costs before proceeding.
