Compact modern two-bedroom ground-floor flat with parking and en-suite — good EPC, leasehold costs apply.
Allocated off-street parking space included
A practical ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with allocated off-street parking, located in central Portsmouth (PO3). The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright with dual-aspect windows, and the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite and built-in wardrobes. The property is compact (about 612 sq ft) and suits single occupants, couples or buy-to-let buyers wanting low-floor access and parking.
Running costs are an important consideration: the flat is leasehold (107 years remaining) with a relatively high service charge of £1,454 and a small ground rent of £250. The block was built in the early 2000s, has double glazing and a Band B EPC (80), so heating efficiency is good, but communal maintenance is reflected in the service charge.
The immediate area is an urban, densely built setting with convenient local amenities, schools and public transport nearby — useful for commuters and renters. However, local crime levels are reported as high and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived; buyers should weigh resale prospects and rental demand carefully.
Overall this is a sensible, low-maintenance starter home or rental purchase offering modern fixtures, allocated parking and an en-suite main bedroom. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising location and convenience over private outdoor space and large internal living areas.
