This one-bedroom apartment at St John’s Square blends restored heritage character with new-build efficiency — ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance coastal base. The open-plan living area is fitted with Paula Rosa kitchens, Caesarstone worktops and Amtico flooring for a contemporary, durable finish. Porcelanosa tiles in the bathroom complete the high-spec interior. At about 550 sq ft, the layout feels compact but practical for everyday living.
Practical extras include gated on-site parking with EV charging points, an on-site Enterprise Car Club (first year’s membership included), and landscaped communal gardens framed by mature trees. The development repurposes former school buildings and sits a short walk from Southsea seafront, Albert Road amenities, and transport links, offering both lifestyle and rental appeal.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property (250 years remaining) with new-build communal facilities; service charges and ground rent will apply (amounts not provided). The immediate area records very high crime levels, which may affect insurance and long-term appeal for some buyers. The apartment is new build and largely move-in ready, but purchasers should verify exact finishes and energy/management costs before committing.
Overall, the apartment represents a contemporary, low-upkeep choice for someone wanting coastal living with modern conveniences and commuter links; it also holds straightforward rental potential, though local crime rates and ongoing estate costs are material factors to consider.
