Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a flexible, design-led commercial building in shell condition, offering a genuine blank canvas for an occupier to create a bespoke space in one of Southsea's most established trading locations.
The property comprises a two-storey terraced building, formerly used as a takeaway, now fully stripped back and presented ready for comprehensive refurbishment and fit-out. This provides complete freedom to deliver a high-quality, tailored environment aligned with brand identity, operational flow and customer experience.
The ground floor offers a predominantly open-plan layout with ancillary accommodation to the rear, providing excellent versatility for a range of commercial uses including destination retail, treatment and consultation space, hospitality preparation or service-led operations.
The first floor provides additional rooms suitable for offices, staff facilities or storage, offering practical and flexible supporting accommodation.
To the rear, the property benefits from a courtyard and detached storage unit. There is no rear access.
The building presents a strong repositioning opportunity, allowing an occupier to unlock and fully optimise the potential of the space within a proven and consistently active Southsea commercial .
Suitable for a wide range of uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.
Location

This is a genuine destination pitch: a vibrant, characterful high street where independent retail, hospitality and professional services thrive. The area benefits from strong and consistent footfall throughout the day and into the evening, driven by a balanced mix of retail, leisure and lifestyle occupiers.
Surrounded by a well-established residential population and a wider Southsea catchment, Albert Road continues to attract ambitious independent operators and quality-led brands seeking visibility, identity and sustained trading performance.
Why Albert Road Works
A proven commercial with a strong mix of cafés, restaurants, boutique retailers, wellness brands and professional services. The street has a clear identity and loyal customer base, making it one of Portsmouth's most recognisable and resilient destination locations.
Crucially, it performs across both day and evening trading, supporting multiple revenue streams and reducing reliance on a single footfall pattern.
