Set on Marmion Road in popular Southsea, this two-bedroom leasehold flat combines a long lease and allocated gated parking — rare for its price band. The open-plan living room benefits from a large south/west-facing window that brings good natural light; timber-effect flooring and a decorative fireplace give the principal room period character. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the seafront, shops and cafés are a short walk away.
The flat is compact (approximately 582 sq ft) and will suit a first-time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor seeking a well‑located property with straightforward cosmetic scope. Annual service charge is £1,875 and council tax is very cheap; the lease has about 152 years remaining, which removes immediate lease-extension pressure.
Be realistic about constraints: the property footprint is modest and there is no private garden. The local area records higher crime levels than average, and the apartment appears to need only cosmetic updating rather than structural work. For buyers prioritising location, parking and a long lease over generous internal space, this offers strong entry-level value in Southsea.
