Summary - Penfolds Court Newcomen Road, Portsmouth PO2 8LA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable starter home near schools, transport links and communal gardens.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, around 411 sq ft
A compact ground-floor flat in a low-rise block, offered as a straightforward first-time purchase or buy-to-let starter. The layout includes a living room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom across about 411 sq ft. Communal gardens and on-street parking provide basic outside amenity.
Practical running costs are notable: a service charge around £1,100pa and ground rent of £100pa apply, and the property is leasehold with onward chain complete. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, with double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls likely lacking added insulation.
Location is convenient for local schools, shops and transport, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Buyers should factor in the wider area context—high local deprivation and above-average crime levels—and the flat’s modest internal size when considering suitability and resale or rental potential.
The apartment suits a buyer seeking affordable entry to the market or an investor looking for a lettable central-urban flat. A buyer survey is recommended to check services, damp risk and any maintenance needs typical of mid-20th-century construction.
