Summary - 21 ESSLEMONT ROAD SOUTHSEA PO4 0ES
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
West-facing rear garden and no chain — practical city living for buyers and investors.
Two double bedrooms and two separate reception rooms
This mid-terraced Victorian home on Esslemont Road offers a compact, practical layout across two floors — ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city base. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, separate lounge and dining rooms, a modern fitted shower room and a fitted kitchen, all arranged within c.829 sq ft of living space. A westerly-facing rear garden provides outdoor space for evening sun and low-maintenance entertaining.
The property is double glazed (installed post-2002) and heated by a mains gas boiler with radiators, and it is sold freehold with no forward chain for a straightforward purchase. Location is a strength: close to Fratton Station and local shops, with good mobile signal and fast broadband — suited to commuters, students, and city professionals. Nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note this is an older (pre-1900) terrace with cavity walls assumed to have no installed insulation. The plot is small and rooms are average in size, so there’s limited outdoor and internal expansion without structural alteration. EPC rating is currently TBC; potential buyers may wish to budget for energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented period home with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, modest running costs (Council Tax Band B) and clear scope for improving thermal performance and personalising finishes.
