This extended mid-terrace Victorian home offers generous family accommodation across multiple levels, with three double bedrooms, a loft room and a large open-plan living/dining space. The southerly-facing rear garden and versatile summer house create a low‑maintenance outdoor entertaining area and flexible workspace. Located close to well-regarded schools, shops and frequent bus routes, it suits growing families wanting space and convenience near the seafront.
The ground floor provides a sitting room with window shutters and an entrance W.C., while the first floor houses a modern family bathroom serving all three bedrooms. The loft room adds useful extra space but may have limited head height and is likely best suited to storage, a study or occasional use. The property appears to have traditional cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), so there is scope to improve energy efficiency and running costs.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is no flood risk recorded. Notable drawbacks are the single bathroom for three double bedrooms, a small rear plot typical of central Southsea, and a high local crime level which may concern some buyers. Overall the house combines period charm and sensible floorplan with clear potential for targeted updating to suit modern family life.
