Summary - ASCOTT HOUSE, 82 - 88 FLAT 13 ELM GROVE SOUTHSEA PO5 1LN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Penthouse with panoramic views and large private terrace
This penthouse apartment in Southsea offers bright, modern living with genuine city and coastal potential. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a large private terrace create an airy, light-filled living space; the open-plan lounge and sleek fitted kitchen suit everyday life and entertaining. Allocated off-street parking and good broadband/mobile coverage add practical value for commuters and remote workers.
Two double-bedroom accommodation is presented in a neutral contemporary style; the principal bedroom is described with direct terrace access and an en suite. The building is relatively modern (circa 2003–2006) and benefits from cavity wall insulation and double glazing, though glazing appears to pre-date 2002 and may not be the latest standard.
Buyers should note material practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with about 104–105 years remaining, a service charge of around £2,074pa and an annual ground rent of £200. Heating is electric (no mains gas) which can increase running costs compared with gas central heating. The wider area is lively and well connected, close to shops, cafés, the seafront and Fratton station, but local crime levels are reported as very high — factor this into location suitability and insurance costs.
Overall this is a roomy, well-located penthouse that will suit first-time buyers or investors wanting a modern urban apartment with outdoor space and parking. It offers immediate move-in appeal but also requires attention to running costs, service charges and safety considerations in a busy neighbourhood.
