Period two-bedroom flat with rare private garden and long lease — ideal first-time buyers..
Private approx 33ft enclosed rear garden
A bright, period two-bedroom apartment in Southsea offering a rare private 33ft garden and a share of freehold. The interior feels modern and airy with a large 20ft entrance hall used as a dining area, a 15ft bay-fronted lounge, separate kitchen and a contemporary bathroom — a practical layout for first-time buyers seeking space and outside access close to the seafront.
The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, and the long lease (around 152 years remaining) with share of freehold reduces typical leasehold concerns. Service charges are low and council tax is very cheap, which helps keep running costs down.
Important to note: the building dates from 1900–1929 with cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. The second bedroom is very narrow and may suit occasional use or storage rather than a double bedroom. The area shows higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, so buyers should consider location suitability and arrange their own surveys and safety checks before committing.
