1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bed with garden, ideal starter home or rental close to amenities.
Chain free one-bedroom apartment with private sunny rear garden
A chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor apartment with its own private sunny garden, offered in central Southsea. The flat is a comfortable size (approximately 623 sq ft) with a large lounge, separate kitchen, double bedroom and shower room — a practical starter home or rental in a well-connected urban location.
Stand-out features include the private rear garden, double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and a long lease of 125 years. Service charge is modest at £480 per year and council tax is very low, helping keep running costs down. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, which suits working professionals or students.
Buyers should note a few material points. The immediate area has above-average crime levels and is classified as deprived; this may affect resale values and rental yields. The building dates from the mid 20th century and external wall insulation is assumed absent, so there may be future energy-efficiency or maintenance upgrades. There are also visual notes of damp around the entrance which should be surveyed.
Overall this property offers a cost-effective route into Southsea for first-time buyers or a straightforward let for investors who value central location, outdoor space and low holding costs. Interested parties should verify lease, service charge and any works required with their solicitor and arrange a full inspection to confirm condition and measurements.
