Summary - GANNET HOUSE, 5 FLAT 20 EASTERN PARADE SOUTHSEA PO4 9RA
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Garage, share of freehold and no onward chain in a prime seafront spot.
Top-floor maisonette with sea views towards The Solent
This top-floor two-bedroom maisonette sits in a sought-after Eastern Parade position with sea views across nearby tennis courts towards The Solent. The flat benefits from a good-size lounge, fitted kitchen, shower room, double glazing and gas central heating — ready to move into with no onward chain. A private garage, bike store and communal garden add practical outside space in a seaside setting.
The property comes with a share of freehold but has approximately 82 years remaining on the lease. That limited term is a material issue and will require prompt attention and legal advice about renewal costs and timing. Service charge is £1,815 pa (includes buildings insurance); ground rent is not charged.
Internally the layout is traditional and well-proportioned for a two-bedroom home of about 796 sq ft; the large lounge and sea-facing windows are genuine selling points. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, cavity walls are assumed without added insulation, and the flat offers scope for cosmetic updating if desired.
Location is a major asset: immediate access to the seafront, Canoe Lake, and Albert Road’s shops, cafes and transport links. Fast broadband, reasonable local schools and an overall affluent area profile make this an attractive option for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors who accept the lease-extension requirement.
