Summary - WINDSOR MANSIONS, 62 FLAT 8 GROVE ROAD SOUTH SOUTHSEA PO5 3RA
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Central two-bed character home with scope for improvement and good rental appeal.
Split-level two-bedroom maisonette, c.899 sq ft
Set in the heart of Southsea, this split-level two-bedroom maisonette combines period character with roomy accommodation across c.899 sq ft. The reception retains original timber floorboards, exposed brick chimney breast and high skirtings — ideal for buyers seeking character and scope to personalise.
Practical aspects are straightforward: a modern bathroom, long lease (c.149 years remaining) and no forward chain make for a simple purchase. The flat is part of Windsor Mansions with a communal service charge (around £1,300pa) and town-centre convenience — shops, cafes and transport are all moments away.
Buyers should note some material issues: heating is by electric storage heaters, glazing is secondary, and some rooms show plaster/paint problems and signs of historic damp risk that need investigation. The building’s walls are cavity as built, likely without added insulation, so energy performance is modest (E rating shown). There is no private outdoor space.
This property will suit a first-time buyer wanting a centrally located, characterful home to upgrade, or an investor targeting a lettable central Southsea flat. With good natural light and flexible room sizes, modest refurbishment and insulation improvements could increase comfort and rental/value potential.
