Set in sought-after Southsea, this three-storey Victorian townhouse offers flexible living across approximately 1,805 sq ft. The house retains period features such as sash windows and high ceilings and is offered chain free — helpful for a quick move or an investor timetable. Its location within the King Street Conservation Area puts shops, cafes and transport within easy walking distance.
Accommodation includes two double bedrooms on the lower-ground/basement level, two further double bedrooms on the first floor and a single bathroom. The raised ground floor provides a sitting room, dining room and stairs down to a fitted kitchen; a modest rear garden with gated access sits beyond the property. Gas central heating is installed throughout.
The property will suit a first-time buyer seeking character and future value, or a landlord wishing to capitalise on the nearby student and professional rental market. It does require some updating and cosmetic work — internal decoration is tired in places and parts of the exposed brickwork and joinery show wear — presenting clear scope to add value with refurbishment.
Buyers should note material facts: the house is an older solid-brick build (c.1840) with assumed no wall insulation, council tax above average, and it sits in an area with higher crime statistics. Basement accommodation and small garden space may not suit everyone. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential.
