This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian mid-terrace and offers a practical, affordable entry into Portsmouth property ownership. At around 679 sq ft it has a lounge, kitchen, family shower room, conservatory and a rear garden — useful outdoor space for a flat. Gas boiler and radiators provide mains gas heating; double glazing is already fitted.
The flat will suit first-time buyers seeking a low council-tax home or investors targeting rental demand in a well-served urban area. It is within walking distance of shops, takeaways and local amenities, and has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Nearby primary and secondary schools have generally good Ofsted ratings.
There are some trade-offs to be aware of. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so further insulation or heating upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet modern energy standards. The property is leasehold — buyers should check the lease length, ground rent and any service charges before committing.
Overall this is a practical, value-orientated apartment with good local amenities and garden space, but it will reward buyers comfortable with modest updating and checking lease terms.
