Central Southsea location — short walk to Canoe Lake and the seafront
Light-filled first-floor two-bedroom flat in central Southsea, close to Canoe Lake and the seafront. The apartment sits in a 1930s mid-terrace building and benefits from a large open-plan living/kitchen with a bay window, high ceilings and double glazing, giving a bright, airy feel throughout. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms sit to the rear for quieter nights and there’s a three-piece family bathroom with shower over bath.
This home is well suited to first-time buyers seeking a spacious starter flat in a convenient, affluent neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile signal. The 150-year lease and mains gas central heating are practical advantages; the property is an average-sized 678 sq ft with characterful period features that still allow straightforward modernisation.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 150 years remaining and an annual service charge of around £3,081, which is high for a flat of this size and will affect running costs. There’s no confirmed private outdoor area other than the noted garden; buyers should check whether this is communal. Prospective purchasers should verify service charge details and ground rent during conveyancing.
Overall, this flat offers generous rooms, a central Southsea location and clear potential to add value with modest cosmetic updating. It will appeal to buyers who prioritise location, space and period character, and who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the stated service charge.
