This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat on Victoria Road South offers bright, modern open-plan living in the heart of Southsea. At about 513 sq ft it suits first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a pied-à-terre close to shops, cafés and transport. The standout roof-top terrace provides outdoor space and city skyline views — a rare find for a small flat.
The accommodation is clean and contemporary with laminated floors, double glazing and fresh decor throughout. The layout includes a bay-front living area, separate reception/bedroom space, a fitted kitchen and two shower rooms/bathroom. The property is offered chain-free and has a long lease (circa 115 years).
Buyers should note this is a small apartment with electric storage heating and cavity walls likely without added insulation — heating costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. It is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £150 and is in an area with above-average crime, which could affect lettings or resale for some purchasers.
For investors the central location, proximity to student/professional renters and potential short-let appeal are positives, but factor in running costs, local demand cycles and any licence requirements for holiday lets. First-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance city home with outdoor space will find real value here if the size and electric heating suit their needs.
