This two-bedroom maisonette occupies the first and second floors of a Victorian semi in Cosham, offering a compact yet characterful home for a first-time buyer or small household. Period features and high ceilings give the principal rooms character, while practical updates—double glazing and gas central heating—are already in place. The layout includes a lounge and kitchen on the first floor, with a master bedroom and additional room/utility on the top floor.
The property is presented in largely tidy but dated condition and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation to maximise comfort and value. Headroom is reduced in the top-floor space, which is currently used as a dressing area; reconfiguration could improve usable floorspace. The rear garden is modest and maintenance-light, and permit on-street parking is available rather than off-street parking.
Location is a key strength: Cosham offers good local shops, pubs, and fast transport links via Cosham station and nearby bus routes, plus quick access to the M27. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, supporting family appeal. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the 151-year lease provides long-term security.
Notable practical points: council tax band B keeps running costs low, but the area records higher crime levels than average, which some buyers will weigh against the convenience and price. Overall this maisonette is a sensible, affordable entry to the Portsmouth market for buyers prepared to do light updating or investors seeking a lettable property in a well-connected suburb.
