This well-presented three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in PO2 offers flexible living across two reception rooms and an extended kitchen-diner with Velux light and bifold doors. The home feels bright and practical, with a generous main bedroom featuring a bay window, fitted wardrobes in one bedroom, and a useful downstairs cloakroom—suitable for families or first-time buyers seeking move-in ready accommodation.
Outdoor living is a strength: a south-facing rear garden with patio and lawn maximises sun, and a brick-built garden room with rear access plus an external modern WC add useful storage and hobby space. The gated forecourt and enclosed porch provide a tidy entrance and useful boot storage, while on-street parking serves everyday needs.
Practical running costs are supported by a current EPC C (71) with potential to reach B (85) and mains gas central heating. Council Tax Band B is relatively affordable. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, and the location sits conveniently near Alexandra Park, Hilsea shore path, schools, and local shops.
Notable negatives are factual and material: the plot is small with no private off-street parking, and the property sits in an area of above-average reported crime — buyers should assess security needs. The walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction (as built), so upgrading wall insulation would improve comfort and energy efficiency. Street-facing views are limited to neighbouring terraces.
Overall this is a tidy, versatile family home with good amenity access and clear scope for targeted energy upgrades or cosmetic tailoring to suit buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in property with modest improvement potential.
