This two-bedroom terraced house is close to the seafront and Eastney Foreshore, with local shops, cafés and everyday amenities nearby. The ground floor has two separate reception rooms, offering flexibility for living, dining or working from home, alongside a practical kitchen that could be updated to suit a new owner's requirements.
Upstairs are two bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom. The property would benefit from updating, giving a buyer scope to refresh the décor and adapt the living spaces. It is offered for sale on a freehold basis, with on-street parking and an EPC rating of C.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The seafront-side location, two separate reception rooms and usable rear garden give this two-bedroom terrace a flexible starting point. The work looks light: a decorative refresh, new flooring where wanted, a more finished kitchen presentation and some attention to the weathered exterior could make a noticeable difference while keeping the existing layout.
The asking price is the sticking point. At £364/sq ft against a local average of £305, it is already dear for the floor area; once a modest-to-substantial programme of improvements is allowed for, the purchase and works look stretched against local benchmarks. That comparison is with current local average values, not a forecast of the home's value after renovation.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and older flooring across the reception rooms and bedrooms.
- Improve the basic, unfinished kitchen presentation without assuming a full replacement.
- Tidy the paved rear garden and attend to the worn exterior paint and render.
Key risks
- At this asking price, adding the cost of a mid-to-substantial improvement programme leaves the overall outlay stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this size.
- The all-in picture is soft after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 21% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition; we have not assumed a post-renovation resale figure.
