Set on Lennox Road South, this ground-floor seafront apartment pairs period character with generous living space. The 21ft lounge with bay window and two double bedrooms suit first-time buyers looking for a roomy starter home close to Southsea’s shops, seafront and transport links. The modern fitted kitchen and striking four-piece bathroom (including roll-top bath and separate shower) reduce immediate spend on essentials.
Practical details are clear: the flat is leasehold with 84 years remaining, an EPC rating of E and an annual service charge of £2,253. The property will be sold at auction via the Modern Method of Auction — buyers should allow for the reservation fee (4.2% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and the 56-day completion timeframe. These terms suit buyers who have funds and can organise conveyancing quickly.
The apartment has recent cosmetic updates (new carpets, good ceilings, double glazing) but sits in a Victorian building with assumed uninsulated cavity walls, so buyers should consider potential future insulation or improvement work. The communal walled courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space; the seller also advises one small courtyard area is used by this flat. Note local context: broadband and mobile signals are strong, but recorded local crime levels are higher than average.
Overall, this is a spacious, well-presented seaside flat offering immediate move-in convenience and further scope for value-added upgrades. It will suit a buyer comfortable with auction purchase conditions, who wants space, period charm and proximity to Southsea’s amenities.
