Situated within easy walking distance of Fareham town centre, this substantial three-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous living space across approximately 1,511 sq ft. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, a ground-floor WC and a four-piece family bathroom upstairs, plus two additional versatile rooms suitable for hobby or dressing use. Outside there is a brick-paved driveway, single garage with power and lighting, and a decent rear garden with patio and mature planting. The property falls within Harrison School catchment.
The house dates from the mid-20th century and retains period proportions and character, including a bay window and a potential fireplace in the living room. Double glazing has been installed (post-2002) and the main heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. The side extension is timber and UPVC construction — buyers should note its different build type when assessing maintenance and thermal performance.
The property presents a clear refurbishment opportunity rather than a move-in-finish home: internal décor is dated and renovation will be needed to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and finishes to current tastes. There is no flooding risk and broadband and mobile signals are good, but local crime is above average — buyers concerned about security or resale in this specific micro-market should take that into account.
Overall this home will suit families seeking space and school access (Harrison Primary rated Outstanding) or buyers looking to add value through sympathetic updating. The freehold tenure and off-street parking with garage are practical advantages, balanced against the cost and time required to modernise parts of the property and to address the timber side extension.
