Character home with renovation potential near Castle Road amenities.
Chain-free four-bedroom period end-terrace built c.1840
This three-storey, four-bedroom end-of-terrace in Southsea offers flexible living across circa 1,805 sq ft and comes to market chain-free. Built c.1840, the house retains period features such as sash windows, arched doorway and exposed brickwork, giving character and scope for sympathetic updating.
The layout includes ground-floor reception rooms, a lower-ground level with two double bedrooms (basement light level and access), and two further double bedrooms plus a bathroom on the first floor. Gas central heating and a modest rear garden with rear access are practical pluses for tenants or a family.
Important drawbacks are clear: the property requires modernisation in places (tired decor, paint peeling and likely damp in parts of the lower ground), only one bathroom serves four bedrooms, and the plot is small. The area records higher crime and relative deprivation metrics, and the house has solid brick walls with no known insulation — buyers should budget for energy improvements and internal refurbishment.
For an investor or buyer seeking period character in a popular Southsea location, this home offers strong rental potential or a renovation project to add value. Early viewing is recommended to assess basement conditions, scope of works and potential to reconfigure internal space.
