A characterful two-bedroom split-level apartment in a Grade II listed Victorian block, positioned just off lively Albert Road. The home spans two upper floors and offers generous living/dining space, tall sash windows and an allocated off-street parking space — rare for central Southsea. The long lease (992 years) and share of freehold add ownership security.
This property suits first-time buyers seeking a central location or investors targeting strong rental demand from students and professionals. The layout includes two bathrooms and good natural light from dual aspects, but the converted attic-style rooms mean some angled ceilings and limited layout flexibility.
Buyers should note practical issues: the building’s listed status may restrict alterations, the service charge is circa £2,700 p.a., and heating is by electric storage heaters. Construction is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, so draftiness and running costs should be considered. The area records higher crime levels; check local data if safety is a priority.
Overall, this apartment offers period character, central convenience and parking — attractive for those willing to accept listed-building constraints and typical maintenance costs that come with older stock.
