A split-level one-bedroom apartment on Beach Road offering private garden access and easy reach of Southsea seafront. The ground-floor entrance leads to a bright living room and kitchen with white goods; upstairs is a large double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and a spacious bathroom. At around 510 sq ft, the layout feels larger than many one-beds and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental appeal.
The building retains Victorian character externally – bay and arched windows, high ceilings – but the interior combines modern elements like double glazing and gas central heating. The property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £100 and below-average service charge of £420; it also benefits from a share of freehold. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and local schools include several rated Good or better.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the area shows above-average crime and relative deprivation compared with regional averages, and the building is described as a fixer-upper in places, so some renovation and ongoing maintenance may be needed. Flooding risk is low, council tax is very cheap, and the split-level arrangement plus private garden are rare for leasehold flats in Southsea.
This property suits a first-time buyer wanting a home with outdoor space and character close to the seafront, or an investor targeting steady rental demand from students and professionals. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission a full inspection and structural survey before proceeding.
