This handsome early-20th-century semi sits in central Portswood, offered chain free and freehold. The house retains many period features — bay windows, high ceilings and dual staircases — and stands on a decent plot with a large rear garden and outbuilding. With 1,844 sqft and four double bedrooms it’s substantial for the area.
The property requires full renovation and modernisation; the accommodation includes only one bathroom and some rooms will need updating. The garden is overgrown and the workshop needs work. Crime levels in the neighbourhood are higher than average, so security improvements should be considered.
For investors the location near universities and local amenities supports rental demand and strong broadband/mobile connectivity. For families, nearby good and outstanding schools make this an attractive long‑term home once refurbished. The house’s period character and versatile layout offer scope to create multiple reception spaces or reconfigure to add a second bathroom.
Buyers should budget for a comprehensive renovation rather than cosmetic updating. When modernised, the property offers significant upside: generous internal area, a private garden, useful outbuilding, and a sought-after Portswood address.
