Summary - Castle Road, Southsea PO5 3DE
5 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Five double bedrooms across four floors with high ceilings and original features
A substantial five-double-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace arranged over basement, ground, first and second floors, offered chain free and ready for a full renovation. The house keeps strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows, stained glass and decorative mouldings — while providing a large footprint for a modern family layout, loft conversion or divided use subject to consents.
Practical benefits include a side conservatory with its own street entrance, a useful basement and a rear garage, plus a separate parcel of land suitable for off-road parking. The property is a short walk from Southsea Common and local shops, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — convenient for family life or professional rentals.
Important to note: the house requires full modernisation throughout and will need investment to bring bathrooms, kitchen, electrics and some rooms up to current standards. Private outdoor space is limited and the plot is small compared with the building footprint. The wider area has higher crime and local deprivation metrics, and council tax is above average, which should be weighed into budget planning.
For buyers with renovation experience or investors seeking a large period property in a prime Southsea location, this home offers rare scale, character and scope for improvement. The end-of-terrace position and basement/garage add flexibility, while the short walk to the Common and seafront give strong lifestyle appeal.
