Set on the first floor of a mid‑century block, this compact two‑bedroom flat offers straightforward urban living with lift access and a private balcony. The lounge and main bedroom are the principal living spaces, while the smaller second bedroom suits occasional use, a home office or rental occupant.
The property is fitted with gas central heating and double glazing; mechanically sound but cosmetically dated in places, so minor updating will improve presentation and rental appeal. At about 511 sq ft the apartment is best suited to a single occupant, couple, first‑time buyer, or buy‑to‑let investor seeking a central Southsea location with reliable transport links.
Practical details: the lease has approximately 88 years remaining, the annual service charge averages £1,450 and ground rent is noted at £10. There is no private garden, and communal parking is on‑street or shared areas visible from the balcony. Council tax cost is very low, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note the local area records above‑average crime and the building’s cavity walls likely lack added insulation. A full inspection is recommended to confirm condition and any remedial works. For investors, the property’s size, location near transport and local amenities make it an easy-to-manage let; for occupiers, it offers city‑centre convenience with modest running costs.
