Affordable period house with garden and flexible outbuilding near parks.
Three bedrooms and two reception rooms in compact 679 sq ft layout
This compact three-bedroom terraced home in Southsea offers an affordable entry to a popular, well-served neighbourhood. Two separate reception rooms and a long, extended kitchen with garden access make practical use of the 679 sq ft footprint, while a small low-maintenance rear garden and brick outbuilding add useful flexible space for a home office or storage.
The property retains period character in places — a bay-windowed front living room and high ceilings — and benefits from modern conveniences such as a combination boiler, integrated appliances and double glazing (installation date unknown). Broadband speeds are fast, mains gas central heating is installed, and the house is freehold with low council tax and no significant flood risk.
Buyers should note the home is a small mid-terrace built circa 1900–1929 and likely has cavity walls with no installed insulation. Accommodation is compact with a single bathroom; overall the house will suit a first-time buyer, small family or investor rather than someone seeking large rooms or substantial outdoor space. Some updating or selective refurbishment may be desired to personalise finishes and improve thermal performance.
Location is a key benefit: shops, parks, schools and frequent transport links are all close by, set within a neighbourhood characterised by terraces and flats. For buyers wanting an affordable Southsea base with scope to add value and a sensible footprint for low-maintenance living, this house is worth viewing.
