This two-bedroom leasehold flat in Dartmouth Mews, Cecil Place, offers a compact, well-positioned home close to Southsea Common and local amenities. Offered chain free with a newly created long lease (approx. 147 years remaining), the property suits first-time buyers and investors seeking straightforward access to the city and seafront attractions.
Inside are two double bedrooms, a bright lounge with a bay window, and a fitted kitchen. Neutral décor throughout makes the flat move-in ready for buyers who want a tidy, low-immediate-effort home. Electric storage heaters and double glazing keep running systems simple, though heating is electric-only.
Practical points to note: the development levies an annual service charge of about £1,545; the overall flat is modest in size (approx. 595 sq ft); and the surrounding area is characterised by student and cosmopolitan neighbourhood activity, which can bring increased footfall and noise. Crime levels are reported as higher than average locally, so buyers should factor this into their decision.
With no forward chain and a long lease in place, the flat presents an accessible purchase route in a sought-after Southsea pocket. It works well for a first home, a rental investment near universities and the seafront, or as a pied-à-terre for city living — provided buyers accept the modest footprint and the service charge commitment.
