The Property
A rare opportunity to acquire this beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious one-bedroom ground floor apartment, occupying part of an attractive Victorian property in the heart of North End, Portsmouth.
Boasting a substantial private rear garden with rear access, off-road parking, beautiful period features and a share of freehold with no ground rent or service charges, this charming home offers a fantastic combination of character, space and convenience.
Freshly decorated throughout with brand-new carpets, the property is ready for its next owners to move straight in and enjoy.
**The Property**
The attractive Victorian frontage immediately sets the tone, with its elegant bay window and characterful appearance, complemented by the rare benefit of off-road parking directly to the front.
Accessed via a communal entrance, the apartment opens into a generous entrance hallway, leading through to the principal rooms.
The impressive double bedroom is full of original character, featuring a beautiful bay window, stained glass windows, a feature fireplace, decorative cornicing and an ornate ceiling rose. These wonderful period details, combined with the generous proportions, create a particularly charming and inviting space.
The spacious kitchen offers an abundance of fitted cupboards, ample worktop space and a lovely breakfast area, making it ideal for everyday dining.
Leading from the kitchen is a separate utility area, housing the boiler and providing convenient access to both the rear garden and the large bathroom, which features a shower over the bath.
Completing the accommodation is a generously proportioned open-plan lounge and dining room, providing plenty of space for comfortable living and entertaining. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flow into the room and creating a wonderful connection with the outside space.
**An Exceptional Private Garden**
Perhaps the most impressive feature of this property is its remarkably generous private rear garden, something rarely associated with a one-bedroom apartment.
Extending approximately 20 metres in length, the garden offers an abundance of outdoor space, perfect for keen gardeners, pet owners or those simply looking for somewhere to relax and entertain.
A substantial brick-built outbuilding provides excellent storage, while an adjoining sheltered decked seating area creates a fantastic spot for outdoor dining, whatever the weather.
There is also a further privately enclosed patio area measuring approximately 8 metres in length, providing another secluded outdoor space.
The size and versatility of this garden truly set the property apart from others in the area and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
**Location & Transport Links**
Situated on Stubbington Avenue in the popular and convenient North End area of Portsmouth, the property is ideally positioned for access to an excellent range of everyday amenities and transport connections.
North End's bustling shopping district is just a short stroll away, offering a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, takeaways and other essential services.
For those relying on public transport, numerous bus stops are located nearby, with regular services connecting North End to Portsmouth city centre, Southsea, Cosham, Queen Alexandra Hospital and surrounding areas.
Hilsea railway station is also within easy reach, offering rail connections towards Portsmouth, Southampton and further afield.
For commuters travelling by car, the property is particularly well positioned, with convenient access to the M275, connecting directly to the M27 and wider motorway network. This makes travelling towards Fareham, Southampton, Chichester and beyond straightforward.
The property's own off-road parking is a significant advantage in this location, with convenient access from the road. For visiting friends and family, Stubbington Avenue public car park is also situated directly opposite.
Whether commuting, shopping or enjoying everything Portsmouth and Southsea have to offer, this location provides an excellent balance of accessibility and convenience.
**A Rare Find That Must Be Viewed!**
Combining the elegance of Victorian architecture with exceptionally generous living accommodation, an impressive private garden and the rare benefit of off-road parking, this wonderful apartment offers far more than your typical one-bedroom property.
The additional advantages of share of freehold, a seller-arranged lease extension, no ground rent or regular service charges and Council Tax Band A make it an especially appealing opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or anyone looking for a characterful home with manageable ongoing costs.
Properties offering this much space, character and outdoor living are rarely available, and an internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this fantastic home has to offer.

What The Agent Thinks
I absolutely love this flat! It has so much more to offer than your typical one-bedroom apartment, from its beautiful Victorian character features to the sheer amount of space both inside and out.
One of my favourite things about this property is just how versatile the accommodation is. There's even the potential to switch the living arrangements around and create a bedroom overlooking the garden, depending on your personal preference.
And the garden really is something special! It's incredibly rare to find this much private outdoor space with a one-bedroom flat, making it perfect for keen gardeners, pet owners or anyone who loves entertaining outdoors. There's even potential to explore adding a garden room or home office, subject to the necessary planning permissions, freehold consents and approvals.
With off-road parking, a share of freehold and a lease extension being arranged by the sellers, this property really does tick so many boxes.
It's one of those homes where the photographs simply won't do the space justice. A real must-view to appreciate everything it has to offer!
