Set within an attractive Grade II listed Victorian building, this split-level top-floor duplex offers characterful living close to Albert Road’s cafes and shops. The apartment benefits from generous living/dining proportions, tall sash windows and an allocated off-street parking space — rare for central Southsea locations.
Practical positives include a very long lease (992 years), two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 845 sq ft, and dual-aspect light. The property is sold via online auction with a starting bid of £180,000; buyers should review the legal pack and note the published service charge.
Important considerations: the building’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or refurbishment plans. Heating is via electric storage heaters and external walls are solid brick with no added insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal efficiency may be needed. The advertised annual service charge is around £2,700 and buyer fees (reservation fee and non-refundable deposit) will apply at auction. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which prospective buyers should factor in.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking character near amenities or investors looking for a centrally located let with parking. View the legal pack, factor in potential retrofit costs for heating/insulation, and allow for auction fees and the conditional sale process before bidding.
