Set on the second floor of a Victorian terrace close to Southsea seafront, this newly decorated two-bedroom apartment offers bright, high‑ceilinged rooms and communal gardens. The accommodation has been modernised recently and is offered with vacant possession, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer, buy-to-let investor or a holiday base.
Practical details are positive: share of freehold tenure and a lease extension currently in progress. The property is compact at around 410 sq ft, with one notably smaller bedroom, so it suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre or an investment with good rental appeal in a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood.
Be clear about the trade-offs: there is no central heating system (electric heaters assumed), the building has cavity walls with assumed no insulation, and some original Victorian fabric may need attention if you pursue full modernisation. Buyers should verify lease and service details when proceeding.
Overall, this apartment delivers seaside location, period character and recent redecoration in a convenient, amenity-rich area. It represents a sensible, lower-cost entry into Southsea for those prioritising location and ease of possession over generous internal floor area.
