Bright, spacious and newly refreshed, this two-bedroom upper flat offers roomy single-storey living (approx 890 sq ft) in central Copnor Road. The reception room is generous with large windows and a period-style fireplace; new carpets and a refitted kitchen make the property ready to occupy or let straight away. With a long lease (139 years) and mains gas heating, running costs are predictable and the flat suits buyers seeking immediate move-in or rental income.
The block mixes residential and ground-floor retail, so the location brings excellent local amenities and transport links but also daytime footfall and occasional street noise. Crime levels in the area are higher than average and should be considered when comparing yields or resale prospects. The glazing was installed before 2002 and walls are original cavity construction (no added insulation assumed), which may affect future energy-efficiency upgrades.
Financially this is an affordable entry to Portsmouth: competitive price, low council tax band, and good broadband and mobile connectivity. Leasehold costs are moderate—annual service charge £1,310.15 and ground rent £400—so factor these into buy-to-let yield or monthly ownership budgets. Overall, the flat offers a roomy, characterful home or a practical investment with immediate income potential, provided buyers accept the urban setting and take basic security and insulation considerations into account.
