This renovated mid-terrace on Nelson Avenue is aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready two-bedroom home in Portsmouth. The house combines period charm — a front bay window and original fireplace — with recent practical upgrades: a modern fitted kitchen-diner, new bathroom, downstairs WC and a recently serviced combi boiler. The living room and kitchen feel bright and practical for everyday life and entertaining.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, fast broadband, low local crime and a west-facing rear garden designed for low maintenance (patio and artificial turf). Internally the property is finished with quality flooring, new radiators and modern fixtures throughout, so buyers can avoid immediate renovation costs. The roughly 797 sq ft layout and two double bedrooms make this a sensible entry-level home or an easy-to-manage buy-to-let.
Buyers should note some material considerations. The plot is very small and rear outdoor space is compact; parking is on-street by residents’ permit (FD zone). The property’s cavity walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), which could mean additional costs to improve energy efficiency despite recent upgrades. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may influence longer-term resale or rental outlook.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance terrace ready for someone seeking a practical first home or starter investment. It delivers contemporary living with character details but keep in mind parking, plot size and potential insulation work when assessing overall running costs.
