Set on the ground floor of a late-Victorian/Edwardian end-terrace, this one-bedroom apartment offers a private paved garden and a compact, efficient layout. Its central Southsea location puts shops, cafés, Albert Road nightlife and the seafront within easy walking distance — strong locational appeal for renters or someone wanting a convenient city base.
The accommodation is small (circa 377 sq ft) but practical: lounge with two front windows, fitted kitchen with vaulted ceiling and skylight, double bedroom and shower room. Gas central heating, mains boiler and good mobile/broadband coverage are useful day-to-day strengths. The property is chain free and will be sold at auction, allowing a relatively quick purchase if that suits your plans.
Material points to note: the apartment is leasehold with about 88 years remaining, a ground rent of £144, and auction sale terms apply. The auction route includes a non-refundable reservation fee (percentage-based) and additional buyer costs — check the Buyer Information Pack and legal pack before bidding. The area records higher crime and local deprivation statistics, which may affect insurance, lettings or personal preference.
Internally the flat is modest and may suit someone seeking a low-maintenance buy-to-let, a first home, or a renovation project to add value. There is evidence of period character (high ceilings, sash windows) but also limited internal floor space and some elements that could benefit from updating. No flood risk is recorded and council tax band is low, which helps running costs.
