A chain-free, split-level maisonette with private ground-floor entrance, offering 656 sq ft of practical living space close to Fratton transport links. The apartment sits over three floors with a bright first-floor living room, a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom; two bedrooms occupy the top floor. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located property with immediate occupancy potential and decent rental appeal. The location provides fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy walking access to shops, cafes and Fratton Station for city-centre and regional connections.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the building shows signs of roof work needed and potential damp in parts, and there is no private garden. The area records very high crime levels and is in a very deprived neighbourhood, which may affect resale and rental values. Leasehold tenure applies; purchasers should confirm lease length and any service charges before commitment.
Overall, the property offers an accessible, low-council-tax base for a first home or investment, with scope to improve value through selective repair and redecoration. Early viewing is advised for those prioritising location and affordability over turnkey condition.
