Set on the first floor of a modern residential block on Gosport High Street, this two-bedroom apartment is offered with no forward chain and an allocated underground parking space. The layout includes a lounge, kitchen/dining area, main bedroom with dressing area, second bedroom and a bathroom. The building benefits from brand-new windows and a long lease of 114 years (share of freehold). Service charge is £1,716 per year and ground rent is a peppercorn.
The flat is a practical size at approximately 786 sq ft and suits a buyer seeking a convenient town-centre base or a rental investment. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent; communal grounds and secure gated access add convenience. Heating is via electric storage heaters, and the property uses electricity as its main fuel.
Buyers should note material considerations: the neighbourhood records higher crime and the area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. Interior decor is dated in places and some rooms are small, so modest updating or refurbishment would improve comfort and value. The property is leasehold, with a notable annual service charge to budget for.
Overall, this apartment offers a low-entry purchase into a central Gosport location with immediate parking and a long lease. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting town-centre convenience or investors targeting affordable local rental stock, provided they accept the neighbourhood context and potential for internal improvement.
