Summary - HOMEHEIGHTS FLAT 2 CLARENCE PARADE SOUTHSEA PO5 3NN
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Vacant, supported one-bedroom flat near shops and transport.
Guide price £80,000–£90,000 for over-60s retirement flat
This one-bedroom retirement flat on Clarence Parade offers a practical, low-maintenance home for the over-60s, presented vacant and with no onward chain. The living/dining room is generous for furniture and daily life, and the double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe. The building provides strong communal support including a house manager, 24-hour emergency call system, lift access, residents’ lounge, laundry and a guest suite — all useful for independent retirement living.
Outside, the development benefits from well-kept communal gardens and an on-site car park, with shops, transport links and local amenities close by. The flat is heated by electric storage heaters, has double glazing installed before 2002, and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob — practical but with dated elements that may suit someone seeking comfort rather than modern upgrades.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £4,152.98 and a ground rent of £548.60. These running costs are above average and should be considered alongside the guide price. The local area records higher crime levels, which prospective buyers should weigh against the strong onsite security features and emergency support.
Overall this home is aimed at purchasers seeking secure, communal retirement living in a central Southsea location, who value convenience and support over contemporary finishes. Early viewing is recommended for those prioritising accessibility and community facilities.
