Description
This spacious end-terrace family home, featuring three to four bedrooms, presents a substantial opportunity for renovation and personalisation. Nestled in a desirable 1960s courtyard development in the heart of historic Old Portsmouth, this property offers an ideal blend of location and potential. The house boasts a generous garage, hardstanding space, and a sunny courtyard garden that is approximately 20ft square, all of which could be transformed into inviting spaces with thoughtful updates. Currently requiring general modernisation, this residence serves as a blank canvas awaiting the vision of its new owner. With close proximity to Southsea Town Centre and local amenities, investing in this home could yield significant rewards. The layout includes a versatile utility/laundry room, integral garage, and multiple living areas that can be reimagined to enhance functionality and appeal. This property comes with no onward chain, making it an enticing prospect for those looking to invest or create their dream home.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a spacious Old Portsmouth project with a useful large integral garage, hardstand and a walled, south-westerly courtyard. The visible interiors offer a clear medium-scale canvas: modernise the old-fashioned kitchen and turquoise bathroom, then refresh dated finishes and flooring across several rooms. The brickwork and windows appear broadly intact, and the courtyard has established planting to work with.
The numbers are the main constraint: at £485,000, the asking price is about 21% above the local £/sqf benchmark. With a mid-to-substantial programme of works on top, the purchase cost and project spend look stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of renovated value.
Key opportunities
- Rework the old-fashioned kitchen and distinctive turquoise bathroom to give the home a more current feel.
- Refresh dated decoration and flooring across several rooms while making use of the spacious interiors.
- Improve the walled courtyard with a tidy-up that complements its established planting; the large integral garage and hardstand add practical appeal.
Key risks
- The asking price is already high against the local floor-area benchmark, so the purchase leaves limited room for the medium-scale works before costs look stretched against local benchmarks.
- The flat roof cannot be assessed from the photographs, so its condition remains uncertain.
