This top-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a Victorian townhouse and delivers striking 180° views across Southsea Common, the Solent and the Isle of Wight from a private balcony. The long, bright lounge/diner and high ceilings retain period character while the contemporary kitchen and mains gas heating provide everyday comfort. Chain-free sale makes a quick move possible.

Resident permit parking is available, and the property is in a highly central spot with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities, schools and transport are all within easy reach.
The area is busy and lively — ideal for buyers who want seaside life close to cafés and shops, or investors seeking strong rental demand.
