This chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace in Fratton offers practical starter-home living with a rare Portsmouth perk: off-street parking accessed from the rear. The layout is traditional — front lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner and bathroom at the back — making the most of its 646 sq ft footprint and small, low-maintenance garden.
The property is suitable for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor looking for straightforward accommodation close to local schools, transport links and neighbourhood amenities. Key benefits include gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and rear access that creates potential (subject to planning) for a garage, store or summerhouse.
Be clear about the practical points: the area is in a deprived ward with above-average crime levels, the walls are cavity-built with no added insulation (assumed), and some fixtures will be dated — buyers should budget for modernisation. The plot is small and the garden is low maintenance rather than spacious.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, affordable opportunity for someone seeking an entry-level freehold in Portsmouth with off-street parking and straightforward renovation potential. A basic survey is recommended to confirm services and insulation condition before committing.
