Summary - THE VULCAN 27 GUNWHARF QUAYS PORTSMOUTH PO1 3BF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Harbour-side duplex with allocated parking and striking period features.
Grade II listed duplex with over 100 sq m of living space
Set within the Grade II listed Vulcan at Gunwharf Quays, this split-level duplex blends period character with modern open-plan living. Exposed brickwork, high ceilings and large sash windows create light-filled rooms and memorable harbour outlooks. The layout includes two double bedrooms, an airy mezzanine living area and a well-equipped kitchen, plus allocated off-street parking and visitor spaces.
Practical details favour long-term ownership or letting: a secure entry serving only four apartments gives privacy, the lease has 173 years remaining and there is no onward chain. The apartment’s solid brick construction and electric room heaters mean heating is electric-only and the walls likely lack insulation. Annual charges are substantial — service charge circa £4,000 and ground rent £200 — and council tax sits above average.
Buyers should note this is a listed building, which can restrict alterations and complicate some upgrades or works. The property also sits in a high-crime local area classification, so prospective purchasers should check local security and insurance implications. Despite these constraints, the apartment’s central waterfront location, strong rental/tourist demand and distinctive character make it well suited to investors, holiday-home buyers or buyers seeking a characterful city base.
