A three-bedroom detached house on a decent plot close to good local schools and quick routes out of Portsmouth. The layout includes a lounge-diner, kitchen, conservatory, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom — plus a garage and off-road parking. The property is offered freehold and chain free, making it straightforward for onward purchase.
This sale is by Modern Method of Auction: there is an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) payable by the buyer, and an additional buyer pack fee (up to £349). The auction route requires exchange and completion within 56 days; prospective purchasers should confirm exact costs and allow time for mortgage and legal checks.
The house is broadly well kept externally but requires internal modernisation in places — one small room shows dated decor, worn finishes and possible mould that will need attention. There is a medium flood risk for the area and local recorded crime levels are very high; buyers should factor in insurance and security considerations. Buyers are advised to carry out full surveys and checks on services before bidding.
For families or investors seeking a practical three-bedroom home with parking, garden and renovation potential in a comfortable Portsmouth suburb, this property offers clear scope to add value. Its size (approximately 743 sq ft) suits buyers looking for a modest, manageable home rather than a large family residence.
