Set on a quiet side road in Southsea, this Victorian mid-terrace combines period character with a bright, open interior. High ceilings, large windows and wooden floors give the sitting/dining room a generous feel, while a large kitchen opens through double doors to a west-facing garden — rare for a terrace of this size. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the beach, train station and local amenities are within easy reach.
The house offers two proper double bedrooms and an unusually large upstairs bathroom (formerly used as a bedroom), giving scope to reconfigure the upstairs if you prefer a different layout. At around 630 sq ft the home is an average-sized, manageable property and is offered freehold with a low council tax band — appealing for first-time buyers or those wanting a well-located pied-à-terre.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the property is older (built before 1900) and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy performance may be below modern standards. The double glazing installation date is unknown. The plot is small and the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, which may factor into security or insurance decisions.
Overall this terraced home suits buyers seeking period charm, proximity to seaside amenities and good transport links, who are comfortable with an older property that may need minor updating (insulation, checks on services) rather than a turnkey new build.
