This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Queen's Keep sits a short walk from Southsea seafront, offering an easy coastal lifestyle and strong rental appeal. The bay-front lounge with a feature fireplace brings natural light and character, while a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances makes day-to-day living straightforward. With 959 years remaining on the lease and a nominal £1 ground rent, long-term ownership is straightforward for a leasehold flat.
Practical running costs are clear: a service charge of £1,360.76 per year (paid half-yearly) and Council Tax Band C. The property benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, but the build (1950–66) means some fabric improvements could be needed over time—external cavity walls are listed as having no insulation (assumed).
The area is well served by local shops, cafes and transport links, and nearby green spaces and the university campus increase appeal for both first-time buyers and investors. Note the local crime level is reported as high; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on security and suitable insurance. Viewings are recommended to assess condition and layout in person.
