Flat for sale in Castle Road, Southsea PO5

Exceptional value for money and a great location just off The Seafront. Within a sought-after and trendy Conservation Area, this purpose-built two bedroom top (3rd) floor apartment benefits from allocated car space. Keenly priced to allow for modest up-dating, it is considered an ideal opportunity for owner-occupation (first time buyers in particular) or investment (having a projected return of around £1,000 p.c.m.). Castle Road runs from Elm Grove to the junction of Western Parade with Southsea Terrace, a little over a quarter of a mile only from Palmerston Road Shopping Centre and a similar distance from The Common and Seafront. This very convenient address places a wide range of public amenities within comfortable reach, including shops and eateries, leisure facilities, schools, main-line stations, and the many attractions of historic Old Portsmouth. Occupying a corner position, "Castle Court" is a three/four-storey (no lift) neo-Georgian building, circa 1990, comprising fourteen apartments. Let until recently, Flat 14 itself retains its original specification in the main, presenting now in fair condition, but rewarding an element of refurbishment. Offered now with the additional advantage of no onward chain, full particulars of this opportunity are given as follows:
