This ground-floor three-bedroom maisonette offers a practical, affordable entry into Gosport just a short walk from the town centre. The living room spans a generous area and the modern kitchen is fitted with wood-effect units and integrated hob and oven — ready to use while you plan further improvements. Gas central heating and existing double glazing help keep running costs down.
Outside, residents benefit from off-street parking, a fenced communal garden with patio and lawn, and a brick-built garden store for extra storage. The property sits within a mid-20th-century terrace and has straightforward layout and room sizes that suit families or buyers seeking rental income without major structural alteration.
Important facts to note: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining and will be sold via Secure Sale online bidding, so buyers should review the auction terms and purchase timescales. There is an annual service charge of £900 and a modest ground rent of £10. The building was system-built with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, which may affect energy performance and renovation costs.
The local area shows higher levels of deprivation and recorded crime is high; consider this when planning occupation or lettings. For buyers seeking potential value, the property’s size, proximity to schools and transport, and need for cosmetic updating create clear scope to add value, either as a family home or an investment letting.
