Pains Lodge, Pains Road, Southsea PO5 1AS

This two-bedroom ground-floor apartment is set within a purpose-built development of three homes, around half a mile from Southsea town centre and Portsmouth University's main campus. It has its own private entrance, a south-facing aspect, double glazing and electric heating. The accommodation comprises a living room, separate fitted kitchen, inner hall with storage, bathroom and two bedrooms. A walled forecourt sits at the front of the building. The flat is available with no onward chain and has previously been let. The listing describes its overall presentation as fair and suggests that some modest updating may be worthwhile. The kitchen includes fitted cupboards, an electric oven and ceramic hob, while the bathroom has a bath with shower. The lease is stated as having 103 years remaining, with an annual service charge of £800 and ground rent of £1. The seller intends to transfer the building's freehold to the three leaseholders after completion of the sale of this flat. Local amenities, public transport, shops, schools, Gunwharf Quays and historic Old Portsmouth are within reach. The listing also refers to a projected rent of £1,000 per month; this figure is an agent estimate and should be independently checked.
