Summary - HARTFORD HOUSE FLAT 5 BLOUNT ROAD PORTSMOUTH PO1 2TN
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Two-bedroom ground-floor flat with parking, balcony and long lease near Old Portsmouth amenities.
Share of freehold with c.990-year lease remaining
Set on the ground floor of a mid-century purpose-built block in Pembroke Park Estate, this two-bedroom apartment offers a practical first home or buy-to-let opportunity in Old Portsmouth. The flat benefits from a long share-of-freehold lease (circa 990 years), allocated off-street parking, communal gardens and a south-facing lounge/dining room with a balcony that brings in good daylight.
The accommodation includes two bedrooms, a kitchen and a shower room/WC, double glazing and gas central heating. EPC rating C indicates reasonable energy performance, though the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to lack added insulation. The service charge (approximately £2,480 pa) should be factored into running costs.
Location is a strength: local shops, buses and seaside amenities are within walking distance, and several well-regarded schools lie close by. Note the area records higher crime statistics than average — buyers should consider personal security measures and local context when viewing. Overall, this is a sensible, well-located flat for a first-time buyer or investor seeking reliable rental potential with straightforward maintenance rather than a full renovation project.
