We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This immaculately presented, top-floor split-level apartment sits proudly atop an imposing and charming period residence in the heart of Southsea, boasting truly breathtaking, panoramic views across the Common, out to sea, and towards the iconic Spinnaker Tower.
Perfectly positioned on Weston Parade, the property is quite literally on the doorstep of everything Southsea has to offer, from the seafront to an array of popular amenities.
Offered with no forward chain, the apartment welcomes you with a spacious entrance hallway, leading to a delightful fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a sleek, contemporary shower room.
A staircase then rises to an impressive and light-filled landing, enhanced by a skylight window that adds to the sense of space and character.
From the landing, doors lead to two generous double bedrooms, the principal benefiting from its own en-suite W.C, while the second bedroom enjoys stunning far-reaching views.
The charming living room is a real highlight of the home, featuring two windows that perfectly frame the spectacular outlook, alongside a feature fireplace that adds warmth and character.
Additional benefits include a share of the freehold and the advantage of being offered with no forward chain.
This exceptional apartment would make an ideal first-time purchase, seaside retreat, or stylish home for those looking to relocate just moments from the coast.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character, and unrivalled views on offer.
