Set just off Albert Road in central Southsea, this three-bedroom leasehold apartment offers practical city living with rare features for the area: an open-plan kitchen/living/dining space, dual-access doors and an allocated parking bay. At about 797 sq ft the home is compact but well laid out, suited to sharers, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking proximity to seafront amenities and transport links.
The accommodation is straightforward and mostly electric-heated, with modern kitchen fittings and communal bike storage. The long lease (992 years) and chain-free sale remove common purchase hurdles, while a very affordable council tax band adds ongoing cost savings. Good broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: single-glazed windows and electric room heaters mean energy efficiency and heating costs may be higher than modern standards. The property sits in a high-crime area classification, which may affect insurance and rental desirability. Overall size is modest and the layout will suit those prioritising location over large living spaces.
