• Two double bedrooms and one bathroom
• South-facing private rear garden
• Modern fitted kitchen and rear utility area
• 15-minute walk to Fratton Station (good transport links)
• Freehold tenure; mains gas heating and double glazing
• Built before 1900 with solid brick walls, likely no wall insulation

A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace in PO1, this two-bedroom home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, low-maintenance property. The ground floor provides flexible living with a front reception and a second reception room that serves as the main lounge. A modern fitted kitchen and utility area sit to the rear, with doors onto a sunny south-facing garden ideal for outdoor dining.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Rooms are small-to-average, reflecting the house’s modest 792 sq ft footprint, but the layout is practical and ready to move into. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing (install date unknown).
Practical considerations: the terraced home was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and is assumed to lack cavity wall insulation. The local area is classified as deprived with average crime levels; the neighbourhood is popular with private renting newcomers and students. Transport links are strong—Fratton Station is a 15-minute walk—while local shops, schools and amenities are within easy reach.
This is a straightforward, affordable purchase for a buyer wanting an entry-level home or a lettable asset in a well-connected city location. It offers scope for modest energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updates, but no major structural or flood risks are recorded.
