Set on historic Castle Road in Southsea, this substantial Victorian end-of-terrace offers a large, flexible family footprint across basement, ground and two upper floors. The house keeps many period features — high ceilings, bay windows, stained glass and decorative mouldings — and includes a conservatory with its own street entrance, a rear garage and a separate parcel of land suitable for off-road parking.
The property is offered chain free and requires full renovation throughout, making it a strong opportunity for buyers with renovation experience or developers seeking to create a bespoke family home. There is scope for loft conversion and reconfiguration to add en-suite bathrooms and modern living spaces, subject to planning consent. Double glazing has been installed and the property uses mains gas central heating on radiators.
Practical considerations are clear: the house needs comprehensive modernisation (cosmetic and likely systems upgrade), the plot has limited private garden space, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. The area records higher crime levels and local social deprivation indicators, which should be weighed alongside the property’s size and period appeal.
In short, this is a characterful, large Victorian townhouse in a sought-after location close to Southsea Common and local amenities. It will suit a buyer seeking renovation potential and space for a growing family, or an investor prepared to refurbish for long-term value uplift.
