Summary - 17 STRODE ROAD PORTSMOUTH PO2 8PX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free two-bed terrace with south garden — ideal starter or renovation project.
Chain free freehold two-bedroom Edwardian terrace
This chain-free, two-bedroom Edwardian terrace offers clear scope for a buyer willing to invest time and money. Set on Strode Road in Stamshaw, the house retains period character—high ceilings, a fireplace and original brick exterior—while providing two separate reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and built-in bedroom storage. The south-facing rear garden and large shed/workshop add useful outdoor and storage space that many nearby homes lack.
The property is in need of modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely kitchen and bathroom refurbishment, and general decorating are required. The footprint is compact (approx. 495 sq ft) so buyers should expect modest room sizes; this makes it especially suited to first-time buyers seeking a starter home or investors targeting rental demand in the area. Broadband speeds are fast and heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators.
Location strengths include proximity to local shops, bus routes and several primary and secondary schools (including a nearby Outstanding UTC). The plot is small and the wider area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels — factors that will affect long-term capital growth and should be weighed by purchasers. Freehold and no onward chain simplify the purchase process.
An internal inspection is recommended to assess scope of works and layout potential. For a buyer prepared to refurbish, this terrace offers an affordable entry into Portsmouth with potential to improve value through sensible upgrades.
