A bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment quietly tucked in central Southsea, offered chain-free and priced to attract first-time buyers. The triple-aspect lounge brings generous natural light, and the flat includes an off-road parking bay — a rare convenience so close to the seafront. With a long lease (approximately 225 years remaining) this property suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into Portsmouth.
The accommodation is straightforward and well-presented: a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, fitted kitchen with space for appliances, and a compact bathroom. Gas central heating, double glazing (installed post-2002) and laminate flooring give a practical, low-maintenance finish. Local amenities are excellent — Gunwharf Quays, the seafront, university and lively Palmerston/Albert Road are all within easy walking distance.
There are some costs and local factors to note. Service charge is approximately £1,476pa and ground rent £200pa. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average, which prospective buyers should consider when viewing. Broadband speeds are average and the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so buyers seeking a period property or turnkey luxury will have different expectations.
Overall, this compact apartment is a practical, well-located purchase for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a straightforward city-base near the coast. It offers clear potential for modernising cosmetic finishes to add personal style or rental appeal, while the long lease and off-street parking add tangible value.
