This ground/raised-ground one-bedroom apartment sits in a period townhouse on Clarendon Road, close to Southsea’s seafront amenities and transport links. The property benefits from a private entrance, fitted kitchen, well-presented living space and a long 99-year lease, making it straightforward for investors or first-time buyers seeking a coastal town location.
The apartment’s strengths include generous overall floor area (667 sq ft), communal outside space and reliable digital connectivity with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — features that help with rental appeal and everyday convenience. The building displays attractive Victorian period features externally and on approach, which supports strong local demand in this part of Southsea.
Buyers should note important negatives plainly: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and the immediate neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels. It is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,409 and a ground rent of £260 per year; communal maintenance responsibilities apply. There is no private rear garden and outside space is communal and limited.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase for a landlord seeking steady coastal rental demand or a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into Southsea. Factor in flood risk mitigation, insurance implications and ongoing service charges when assessing value and yield potential.
