The flat sits on the second floor of a well-maintained Victorian seafront building with lift access, permit parking and a resident bicycle shed.

Inside the home, a modern kitchen opens to a modest lounge and a comfortably sized bedroom with built-in storage. The accommodation totals around 388 sq ft, making it a sensible, low-footprint base for single occupancy or a couple. Heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators, glazing is double and broadband and mobile signals are strong — practical for everyday living or remote working.
Important practical details influence the purchase case: the property is leasehold with about 103 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,600 and a small ground rent of £100. The area is lively and cosmopolitan but records higher crime levels than average, which buyers should consider. Flood risk is low.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking an affordable seaside starter home or a buy-to-let in a popular Southsea location. It needs little immediate investment internally but is best appreciated by buyers happy with compact living and leasehold ownership costs.
