Summary - 119 ERNEST ROAD PORTSMOUTH PO1 5RD
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable city terrace near schools and transport links.
Three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with front bay window
A traditional Victorian mid-terrace offering three bedrooms and flexible ground-floor living across an average-sized footprint. The property has period features such as a front bay window, gas central heating and double glazing (installed post-2002), making it ready for immediate occupation with low visible cosmetic work. Its location is practical for first-time buyers or investors: walking distance to local shops, bus routes and several primary and secondary schools.
Practical drawbacks are clear and honest: the plot and forecourt are small, there is only one bathroom, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated (possible improvement needed for energy efficiency). Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider neighbourhood scores as deprived, which may concern some buyers or affect rental demand and resale values.
This is a straightforward purchase for someone seeking an affordable entry into Portsmouth’s terraced stock or an investor after a lettable three-bed in a city setting. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal are positives for modern tenants. Buyers intending to improve energy efficiency or maximise rental income should budget for insulation and potential cosmetic updating.
Freehold tenure and a low council tax band are practical ownership benefits; viewings advised for a clear sense of room proportions and the small rear garden. The property suits those prioritising location, rental potential or an affordable family home over outdoor space or a low-crime neighbourhood.
