Set on Havelock Road in Southsea, this late‑Victorian semi‑detached house offers generous living space across multiple levels and classic period detail. High ceilings, sash and bay windows, original fireplaces and a useful basement create an adaptable home for a growing family or an investor wanting to add value.
The property includes five bedrooms, a single bathroom plus separate W.C., a breakfast room and kitchen, and a large rear garden with vehicular hardstand and a double‑length garage (consent recorded in 1976). The house requires general modernisation throughout, presenting a blank‑canvas opportunity to upgrade services, kitchens and bathrooms and to improve energy performance.
Important practical points: the building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation; double glazing is present in places but install dates are unknown; the area has above‑average crime statistics and higher deprivation indicators. The property is offered freehold and will be sold at auction — buyers should review the legal pack carefully and budget for the auction buyer’s premium and any additional costs.
For buyers seeking period character and scope to create significant value, this is a rare Southsea lot: close to the town centre, rail links and seafront, yet tucked into a conservation area. Cash buyers or investors prepared to carry out renovation will find strong potential in layout, ancillary space and the rare double‑length garage with separate access.
