This mid-terrace Victorian two-bedroom house in Copnor offers an affordable, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property has been newly re-carpeted throughout and fitted with a modern combination boiler, so heating and presentation are up to date. The compact rear garden and largely original exterior retain period character while giving outdoor space for plants or a small seating area.
Internally the layout is practical: a ground-floor bathroom, separate lounge and dining room, and two double bedrooms upstairs. Room sizes are generous for the footprint (total c. 894 sq ft) and the property feels larger than many nearby two-beds. Double glazing was installed after 2002, and mains gas central heating runs from a modern boiler.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward and important: the plot is small and the building dates from c.1900–1929 with cavity walls that likely lack insulation, so energy costs could be higher than modern homes. The kitchen shows signs of wear and could benefit from updating if you want a fully modern finish. There are no reported flooding risks, council tax is described as affordable, and the area has average crime and deprivation levels.
Location is a genuine selling point — strong public transport links, nearby shops and amenities, and several primary and secondary schools close by (mixed Ofsted ratings). Sold freehold and chain free, the house suits buyers who want to move quickly or investors seeking a straightforward rental property with room to add value through cosmetic kitchen and insulation improvements.
