Second-floor Victorian flat with sea aspect and long lease — ideal for first-time buyers.
Bright bay-fronted living room with partial sea views
Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom flat pairs period character with practical modern comforts. A bright bay-fronted living room (approx 14ft x 16ft) delivers strong natural light and partial sea views — an inviting main reception for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is useable and well-proportioned, and both bedrooms are double-sized with built-in storage for a compact household.
The tenure is a share of the freehold with a long lease (c. 990 years) and the property is offered chain free, simplifying purchase for a first-time buyer. Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. Council tax sits in band A, keeping ongoing costs lower than many city flats.
There are no private outdoor spaces and access is via communal stairs to the second floor, which should be considered if mobility or frequent large-item moves are a concern. Annual service charges are around £1,200 and the layout includes one bedroom that is smaller than the principal, so buyers looking for completely equal bedroom proportions should note this. The flat’s size (c. 630 sq ft) is typical for a two-bedroom city apartment and will suit couples, first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking good local rental demand.
Positioned close to Southsea Common, shops and public transport, the location benefits from excellent broadband and mobile signal and a lively nearby amenity mix. Viewing is advised to appreciate the bay windows, high ceilings and sea-aspect from the reception — qualities that give this apartment genuine kerb appeal and practical city-living convenience.
