This third-floor split-level apartment offers a newly extended 99-year lease and clear sea views from a Victorian townhouse position in the heart of Southsea. Recently modernised, the accommodation benefits from high ceilings and light rooms that create a welcoming, spacious feel across an average-sized 671 sq ft layout.
The layout includes a generous main bedroom, a second split-level bedroom with a built-in work-from-home area, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and a living room that showcases the bay-window period character. Practical features include mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband availability and secure intercom access.
Buyers should note a service charge of approximately £1,404 and resident permit on-street parking rather than private parking. The property has double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls assumed without added insulation, which could affect long-term running costs despite the very cheap council tax banding.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking move-in ready accommodation with resale or letting potential, and investors looking for a city-centre seaside location with good transport links. Verify lease and technical details with a solicitor, and consider insulation or glazing upgrades if reducing bills is a priority.
