A three-bedroom semi-detached period cottage offering character features and a long 60ft rear garden in Southbourne, close to Pokesdown station and local shops. The house is chain-free and freehold, making it straightforward to buy and renovate to your taste.
The property retains Victorian details such as high ceilings, a fireplace and sash-style windows, and benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. An attic with four Velux windows provides generous boarded storage or potential to convert (subject to consents). At about 726 sq ft, the layout includes two separate reception rooms, a compact kitchen, ground-floor shower room plus WC, and three bedrooms upstairs.
Important to note: the house requires full modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely some fabric upgrades. Walls are cavity construction with assumed no insulation; glazing age is unknown. EPC is D (63). The local area shows above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, which buyers should factor into decisions.
This property will suit a buyer looking for an affordable entry into the area or a hands-on first-time purchaser/ investor prepared to renovate. Its location close to good schools, Pokesdown station and local amenities gives it practical commuter and family appeal, while the long garden offers scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning).
