Compact, versatile home near Albert Road and the seafront—ideal for investors or small households..
Chain free for quick completion
Flexible 3/4 bedroom layout or 1–2 reception rooms
Compact footprint; overall living space is small
No off-street parking and minimal private frontage
Cavity walls assumed uninsulated—improve for efficiency
Double glazing installed before 2002 may need upgrading
Gas central heating via boiler and radiators throughout
Area has high crime levels and local deprivation
This compact Victorian mid-terrace offers flexible 3/4 bedroom accommodation in a central Southsea position, just off Albert Road. Light, airy rooms and a modern kitchen make the house immediately habitable, while no forward chain allows a quick purchase.
The property suits investors, professionals or small families wanting proximity to shops, cafes and the seafront. Gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002) reduce immediate running concerns, and the layout can be adapted between reception space and additional bedrooms.
Notable drawbacks are its small overall footprint, minimal private frontage with no off-street parking, and likely limited garden space. The terrace was built c.1900–1929 and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation—upgrades may be needed to improve energy efficiency. The area records relatively high crime and local deprivation, which should be considered for lettings or resale planning.
For buyers seeking an investment or a compact city house with fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage, this property presents clear rental potential close to amenities and transport links. Budget for energy-efficiency improvements and consider the neighbourhood profile when assessing long-term yields or family suitability.
