Student Property Details

This is a lovely comfortable, light, spacious and very well-equipped student flat for three friends to share. It is in one of the best areas of Southsea, yet less than a 10 minute walk to the University, Southsea Common and the beach. Palmerston Road is a pedestrian precinct with many shops, a library, supermarkets, and numerous restaurants, bars and cafés.

Although termed a flat, it overlooks the precinct and does not have anything above it: in effect, it is a terraced house with neighbours either side, but none above or below. It has an outside seating area both in front and to the rear and these are private and surprisingly spacious. The property is over 2 floors with the kitchen and a huge lounge/dining room downstairs and 3 bedrooms and a brand new bathroom upstairs (august 2023). The block is entered from Palmerston Road pedestrian precinct via a shared private entrance – a spectacular prized Art Deco entrance lobby with a large staircase which is regularly cleaned and maintained. From the secure digital door access there are two flights of stairs to the 2nd floor walk way in front of the flats.

The front door of the flat opens to the entrance hall and stairs. Off the hall is the kitchen and a brand new downstairs cloakroom. At the end of the hall is the bright and spacious lounge/dining room, newly decorated (summer 2021) with dining table and chairs, and leather sofa's and coffee table. There is a door from this room to the outside terrace that overlooks Palmerston Road, where there is a monthly farmers market and occasional French markets. Up the stairs to the landing are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The kitchen was refurbished in August 2022 and is a good size, with new electric oven, electric hob, large fridge freezer (new 2023) and microwave (new 2023), and washing machine. A brand new gas boiler was also fitted in November 2022. As well as plenty of cupboard space there are 2 walk in cupboards. There is a dining table and chairs in the kitchen.

Under the stairs there is a large storage cupboard.

Up the newly carpeted stairs are three double bedrooms, each with double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers with desks to work at. Each bedroom has a radiator and roller blinds at the window.

The brand new bathroom (August 2023) has a walk in shower, wash basin and WC. It has vinyl tiled flooring and roller blind, and a new radiator towel rail.

The flat is fully double glazed with full gas central heating which has a smart meter and is currently paid for by quarterly account.The electricity is via a smart meter and currently paid for online using a smart phone or PC.

The flat is very comfortable, clean and tidy and previous tenants have been very happy there, enjoying the location, privacy and yet closeness to the university and all that's happening in Southsea. To the front of the flat there is an outdoor patio area with washing line, and to the rear of the flat, opening out from the lounge is another patio terrace overlooking Palmerston Road, and a real sun trap.

At the rear entrance to the block the flat has its own secure bicycle store. 

The rent stated does not include Electricty/Gas, WiFi/Broadband and water/sewage costs, which the current tenants pay themselves. We can provide an inclusive rent on request.

The total rent is paid either monthly by standing order or termly at the start of each term. Tenants will be asked to supply a rent guarantor before signing the tenancy agreement.

Although the tenancy is for a September start we could make it available throughout the summer.
