Standing at the head of Kent Road and directly adjacent to Southsea Common, this Grade II listed mid-terrace town house combines period charm with practical location benefits. Accommodation is spread over three floors plus a cellar and includes a generous kitchen facing a rear courtyard garden, a comfortable lounge and dining room, and three bedrooms. The property is offered chain-free and is freehold.
The house retains many historic features: sash windows, high ceilings, exposed floorboards and decorative mouldings. The tight spiralling staircase and compact room layouts add character but limit accessibility for those with reduced mobility. The very small courtyard garden includes an outhouse and privy and provides a low-maintenance outdoor space rather than a lawned garden.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation works. There are signs this home would benefit from updating and modernisation in parts (kitchen and living areas largely functional but dated); walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation. For purchasers wanting a period home close to the seafront and local amenities, this offers genuine character and potential, but expect listed-consent constraints and some refurbishment costs.
