Large period flat with parking and long lease in central Portsmouth.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment, approximately 679 sq ft
Set on the top floor of a handsome Grade II listed building, this one-bedroom apartment offers unusually large rooms and plentiful storage across approximately 679 sq ft. High ceilings, period sash windows and well-kept communal gardens give the flat classic character and a calm outlook in central Portsmouth. Allocated off-street parking is a practical advantage in this location.
The long lease (153 years) and peppercorn ground rent make the tenure straightforward for buyers, and the central setting delivers excellent transport links, fast broadband and close access to shops and amenities. The apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor who values space and period charm in the city.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status may limit alterations and require consent for many changes. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — both factors that can affect running costs. The service charge is considerable (around £2,937.96 annually) and the wider area records higher crime and deprivation indices; prospective purchasers should factor these into their decision and budget for any upgrades or conservation requirements.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful city apartment with secure parking and a long lease, best suited to buyers who prioritise location and period features and are comfortable managing listed-building constraints and running-cost considerations.
