A spacious two-bedroom third-floor apartment in the Pembroke Park development, just a short walk from Southsea seafront and the cafés, bars and shops of the waterfront. The reception room is dual aspect and south-facing, filling the space with natural light and opening onto a sheltered balcony with views over Southsea Common — a rare city-seafront combo for first-time buyers.
The flat is sold needing updating throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, and the building is a post-war construction with system-built walls (insulation assumed absent). This presents an opportunity to modernise and add value, especially given the apartment’s generous 926 sqft footprint and private garage for extra storage or a car.
Buyers should note the practical running costs: a high service charge (approximately £4,525.88 per year) and a community heating scheme. The property is share of freehold — a benefit — but repair and maintenance responsibilities and estate-level decisions will affect future costs. The area records higher-than-average crime rates; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
In short, this property suits a motivated first-time buyer or investor looking for a large, well-located flat to modernise. It combines strong location and scope for improvement with material running costs and retrofit work that will need budgeting before purchase.
