Set on the third floor of a purpose-built retirement block, this one-bedroom flat offers a spacious dual-aspect living room with balcony and a significant glimpse of The Solent and Isle of Wight. The layout includes a separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a large walk-in shower room; the flat is a blank canvas that will reward refurbishment.
The building, constructed in 1982 for retired occupants, provides lift access, secure entry, emergency pull-cords and well-kept communal gardens with non‑allocated resident parking. The location is especially convenient — a short, level walk to the seafront and half a mile from Southsea town centre amenities, yet set back from the road in a quiet crescent within a conservation area.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold, the freehold is being transferred to a residents’ management company and extended leases are anticipated. The property is offered chain free but requires renovation throughout. Service charges are above average and communal parking is not allocated.
This apartment suits a downsizer or retired buyer seeking seafront proximity and communal facilities, who is willing to refurbish to their own taste. It offers retirement-focused safety features and a generous living space with potential to create a comfortable, personalised home overlooking well‑tended gardens and distant sea views.
