This one-bedroom apartment at Bonfire Corner offers compact, efficient city living with a private balcony and allocated parking. At 462 sq ft, the layout suits a single professional, couple or investor seeking easy-let potential close to the waterfront, Gunwharf Quays and the mainline station.
Built in 2009 and described as energy efficient, the flat benefits from double glazing and modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. Electric storage heating keeps the installation simple, and the long lease (about 135 years remaining) gives ownership security with a modest ground rent.
Buyers should note material costs: a service charge around £2,080pa and ground rent of £150pa. The wider area scores as deprived with higher local crime rates and a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood — factors that affect resale and rental markets. The underground parking shows signs of damp and low ceilings, which may concern some owners.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance city apartment offering strong transport links, close amenities and affordable council tax. It will suit first-time buyers wanting a city base or investors targeting central Portsmouth rentals, provided they accept the communal maintenance costs and local area considerations.
