Summary - Garden Flat, 146 Elm Grove, SOUTHSEA PO5 1LR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Central seafront walkable apartment ideal for entry buyers or landlords.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat, approximately 754 sq ft internal space
This top-floor one-bedroom leasehold apartment sits in the heart of Southsea on Elm Grove, a short walk from the seafront and a wide range of shops, cafés and restaurants. The flat has a roomy reception, separate fitted kitchen and a double bedroom; gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted. With 754 sq ft internal space and a long lease (about 150 years remaining), it suits a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking central, well-connected accommodation.
The building is a late-Victorian, mixed-use terrace with a commercial unit at ground floor. Expect street noise and pedestrian activity from the busy high street, and no private garden or external amenity space. Service charges (circa 1,300 pa) and a small ground rent ( 104 pa) apply; the property is leasehold so check full service charge accounts and terms before committing.
Practical negatives to note: the area records very high crime levels and the building walls are cavity as-built with no confirmed insulation, which may affect heating bills despite gas central heating. The flat will appeal most to buyers prioritising location and rental demand over secluded outside space or a pristine, newly refurbished interior. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and noise levels in person.
