Set just a short walk from Southsea seafront and the town centre, this four-bedroom, three-storey end-terrace home offers spacious family accommodation and useful parking with a large integral garage. The property is chain-free and benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing, a sun balcony and an enclosed low-maintenance patio garden. At about 1,550 sq ft, the layout suits families needing flexible space and home-working options (garage workshop and side store).
Practical information is clear: Freehold tenure, EPC rating C and Council Tax Band D. The house offers good broadband and mobile signal for modern living. The wide windows and sliding doors to the balcony provide generous natural light to the principal living area, while fitted kitchen appliances and two bath/shower rooms make the home immediately useable.
Important drawbacks are factual and should influence viewing decisions. The property sits in an area with a high flood risk and above-average crime levels; the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived with a large private-renting population. The walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity; some internal finishes (Artex ceilings and dated textures) suggest cosmetic updating would be needed for a fully modern finish. The plot is relatively small and parking is limited to the integral garage/forecourt.
Overall, this is a convenient, chain-free family home in a sought-after Southsea location with genuine scope to update and add value, provided buyers take account of flooding risk and local area conditions.
