Set directly on Southsea’s seafront, this two-bedroom lower-ground apartment offers an attractive first home with genuine seaside character. The spacious reception room benefits from high ceilings and a bay-fronted façade, giving light and period charm despite being on the lower ground floor. A private gated parking space and exclusive paved courtyard add useful outdoor and storage options rarely found at this price on the seafront.
Practical comforts include a contemporary four-piece bathroom, a well-appointed kitchen and an EPC rating of D. The flat comes with a share of freehold and is offered chain free, simplifying purchase for a buyer wanting a quick move-in or a straightforward investment let. Broadband speeds are fast and public transport links and local amenities are literally on your doorstep.
Buyers should note the property is small overall (approximately 549 sq ft) and sits in an area with higher recorded crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ perceptions and insurance costs. The building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so targeted energy-efficiency upgrades could be needed in future. Council tax band is moderate and flooding risk is low.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking seaside living with parking, or an investor targeting reliable coastal rental demand. It blends period appeal and practical outdoor space but will reward buyers prepared to consider modest thermal improvements and to accept the realities of a city seafront location.
