This Victorian three double-bedroom home on Shearer Road offers straightforward family living or a buy-to-let opportunity in popular Fratton. The layout includes spacious lounge and dining rooms, a fitted kitchen, downstairs WC, and a useful lean-to leading to a paved rear garden. The property is freehold with an average overall size and approximately 1,123 sq ft of accommodation.
Currently let on a rolling tenancy at £1,350 pcm (due for review), the house produces immediate rental income, making it suitable for investors. For owner-occupiers, the nearby schools rated Good and the local amenities provide convenient family-focused living. The area offers excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, useful for home working.
The home retains period character — bay windows, decorative mouldings and high ceilings — but is described as dated in places and will benefit from updating to maximise value. The plot is small and neighbouring houses are close. The neighbourhood records above-average crime levels and is in a generally deprived area, factors buyers should weigh alongside the guide price. Council tax band is low, and there is no flood risk.
Viewers should note the tenancy status and potential need for modernisation; these are offset by freehold tenure, solid rental income, and strong transport and amenity links. This house suits families seeking space near good schools or investors seeking an income-generating property with uplift potential.
