Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Old Portsmouth, this recently renovated two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers ready-to-move-in living with modern finishes. A brand-new Victoriana-style kitchen, a newly fitted bathroom and fresh floorcoverings create an immediately comfortable home with minimal short-term work required. The living room’s full-height sliding doors flood the space with light and open directly onto a low-maintenance rear garden.
The current layout gives two bedrooms, including a large master that was formerly two separate rooms — so the property can be returned to a three-bedroom layout if required. There is also an external side space that could be used for extra off-road parking or to extend (subject to consents), and an allocated parking space completes the practical benefits for city living.
Practical details to note: the house is freehold, mains gas-heated with boiler and radiators, double glazed, and built around 1976–82 with cavity walls and assumed partial insulation. Council Tax band D applies. The area is a lively, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal but higher local crime levels and a strong student presence — factors that may affect noise and local parking pressures.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home close to city amenities and schools, or investors looking for a well-presented let in a central location. It combines modern finishes, sensible running costs and modest scope for extension or reconfiguration, balanced against the realities of an urban, busy neighbourhood.
