Top-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Southsea, offered chain-free and with 106 years remaining on the lease. The open-plan living space benefits from dual-aspect windows, a south-facing Juliet balcony and plenty of natural light, creating an airy feel across compact accommodation of about 388 sq ft. The building dates from the early 2000s, has modern double glazing and is served by electric boiler/radiator heating.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers, investors or students seeking central living and strong local amenities. Broadband speeds are fast and the location places cafés, shops and public transport on the doorstep. Leaseholders have formed a right-to-manage company to help oversee block maintenance, which can simplify management compared with a typical leasehold arrangement.
Be realistic about the property’s trade-offs: the flat is small and on the top floor, and heating is electric rather than gas, which can be more costly. The local area records higher-than-average crime, so buyers should check security measures and insurance implications. Council tax is very cheap and there is no flooding risk.
Overall this is a bright, well-located apartment with pleasant rooftop views and immediate access to Southsea’s restaurants and services. It offers straightforward, low-maintenance living or a compact rental opportunity — best appreciated in person.
