Summary - 38 PORCHESTER ROAD SOUTHAMPTON SO19 2JD
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Sunny south-facing garden, oversized master bedroom, close to transport and schools.
No forward chain, freehold tenure
A well-proportioned two-bedroom terraced home offering a mix of period character and recent updates, sold with no forward chain. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen/diner with high-gloss units and French doors onto a south-facing rear garden, plus a lounge with a feature box bay that brings in daylight. The master bedroom is notably large (approx. 15ft) and the first floor is completed by a modern four-piece bathroom with a separate mains shower and roll-top bath.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, double glazing throughout (install date unknown), mains gas connections and on-street parking. The garden provides useful outdoor space with patio and lawn. Local amenities are within easy walking distance, including shops, a nearby train station (Woolston) and several well-rated primary schools.
Buyers should note material local and property considerations: the wider area records high crime and significant deprivation, and the property sits in a small plot with limited front exterior space. Some original cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and heating is served by room heaters plus mains gas, which may mean further upgrading is desirable for comfort and efficiency. Front and external paintwork show signs of wear and the roof may require inspection — the house suits purchasers prepared to carry out cosmetic updating or targeted renovation.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free home for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a characterful base near transport and amenities, or for a small family seeking local schools. It offers clear potential to increase value with measured improvements to insulation, heating and external maintenance.
