Ground-floor commercial unit with large shop front and prep area
Large bay-fronted living room with high Victorian ceilings
Three double bedrooms across three floors; one family bathroom
Private courtyard garden; compact but usable outdoor space
Leasehold with 708 years remaining — long lease term
Medium flood-risk; some coastal flood exposure
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — energy upgrades recommended

This period mid-terrace townhouse on Monkton Street combines residential living with an established ground-floor commercial unit — a strong option for an investor or owner-occupier who needs trading space. The shop has a generous frontage and preparation area; it can continue as retail use or be repurposed subject to necessary consents.
Residential accommodation spreads over three floors with generous rooms, high Victorian ceilings in the bay-fronted living room, and large windows that bring good natural light. There are three double bedrooms and a single family bathroom; the house also benefits from a private courtyard garden and fast broadband — useful for home working or leisure.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold (708 years remaining) and sits in a medium flood-risk zone. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may limit family convenience without alteration.
Location is a major draw — short walk to Ryde and Appley beaches, local amenities, and good transport links to Portsmouth and Southsea. For buyers seeking seaside living with income or business potential, or investors targeting a mixed-use asset, this house offers character, space and flexibility with straightforward upgrade opportunities.
