Room in a Shared Flat, Orchard Road, PO4

  • 2 bedrooms
  • 1 bathrooms
  • Southsea

Welcome to your next home in Central Southsea, just a short stroll from Fratton railway station and the vibrant heart of Portsmouth. This fully renovated property offers two large double bedrooms available individually, ideal for professionals, commuters, or discerning tenants seeking quality living and convenience.

If you are comparing this with studio flats in Southsea, this is worth considering. Most studios at this price do not include bills, internet, TV licence or high-quality furnishings. Here, you get a large private double bedroom in a modern shared home, with predictable monthly outgoings and a better overall finish.

**Please note just one room is available. **  The other room is already taken by a working professional, so this home would suit another professional looking for a clean, comfortable and well-kept place to live.
