This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Stamshaw Road is a chain-free, freehold starter home with straightforward potential. The ground floor offers a bright living room and a modern-fitted galley kitchen; upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. At about 808 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an accessible urban property.
The house benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, and council tax is very low—helpful for running costs. A small rear garden and narrow gated side access provide outdoor space despite the compact plot. Location is convenient for local amenities, schools (several rated Good or Outstanding nearby) and fast broadband and mobile signal.
There are clear maintenance issues to allow for: external render shows cracking and peeling paint, with signs of damp/rising damp at low level. Internal modern finishes coexist with areas needing redecoration and possible further works; cavity walls likely lack insulation. On-street parking only; no obvious off-street parking. The surrounding area has higher crime and local deprivation indicators, which will influence suitability for some buyers.
For buyers willing to carry out basic repairs and ongoing management, the property offers an affordable entry into Portsmouth’s PR2 postcode and scope to add value. It suits someone after a compact, well-located home rather than a turnkey family house.
