Summary - 64 RANELAGH ROAD PORTSMOUTH PO2 8HA
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free with three reception rooms and a large upstairs bathroom.
Chain free freehold terraced house with two double bedrooms
Three reception rooms — potential for home office or playroom
Large upstairs family bathroom — unusual for size and layout
Small paved rear garden with raised flowerbeds, low maintenance
Built 1900–1929; period proportions but likely need for updates
Double glazing installed before 2002; consider window/insulation upgrade
Above-average local crime and high area deprivation — affects resale/rent
Council Tax Band B; low flood risk and excellent mobile signal
Comfortable two-bedroom terrace in PO2 offering practical living and clear scope for improvement. The house has three reception rooms, a compact kitchen with garden access and a large upstairs family bathroom — useful for growing households or first-time buyers seeking space. The property is offered chain free and is freehold, simplifying purchase for buyers ready to move quickly.
The build dates from the early 20th century and retains period proportions; double glazing is installed (pre-2002) and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working. The rear garden is paved with raised beds, low-maintenance and suitable for sitting-out or container plants.
This location delivers convenience with local shops, takeaways, bus links and several good and outstanding nearby schools. Practical positives include a modest council tax band and low flood risk. However, the wider area scores high for deprivation and crime is above average; the immediate neighbourhood is described as constrained renters, which may affect long-term resale or rental yield.
The house is a sensible purchase for first-time buyers or investors comfortable with modest cosmetic updating and improvement. There is clear potential to modernise the kitchen and receptions to increase value, but buyers should budget for typical Victorian-terrace maintenance and obtain a survey to confirm services and structure.
