A generously proportioned two-bedroom Victorian semi set on a quiet Portsmouth street, offered with vacant possession and freehold tenure. High ceilings, bay windows and spacious rooms give classic period character while a modern kitchen and conservatory provide everyday practicality for family life or shared occupancy.
Practical benefits include off-street parking via a shared driveway, an enclosed rear garden and a downstairs cloakroom plus a first-floor bathroom. The property sits in an area classified for families in terraces and flats, close to shops, good bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools — convenient for commuters and parents.
There is scope to add value by updating internal finishes and improving thermal efficiency: the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and double glazing installation date is unknown. The home is on a small plot with a single bathroom, and some rooms show dated fittings; buyers should allow for cosmetic or partial renovation to modernise bathrooms, some cabinetry and potential insulation works.
Practical selling points — freehold, no flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — make this a straightforward move-in-with-improvement opportunity for families or buyers seeking period character with upgrade potential.
