Description

This three-floor terraced house in North End, Portsmouth, has more than 1,100 sq. ft. of accommodation and scope for updating. The ground floor includes a long open-plan sitting and dining room, with a fitted kitchen at the rear and access to the bathroom and enclosed garden. Two bedrooms are arranged on the first floor, including a principal bedroom that spans the front of the house. A further staircase leads to a loft room described as Bedroom 3, which could also serve as a home office or hobby room. The property is described as well maintained but in need of some updating, offering buyers the opportunity to adapt the interiors to their own requirements. Local shops, supermarkets, cafés, schools and public transport are nearby, with road links across Portsmouth and towards the wider South Coast. Portsmouth city centre, the seafront and Gunwharf Quays are also within reach.

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £230,000, this three-storey North End terrace is priced attractively against the local benchmark: its £205 per sq ft is 18.4% below the local average. That gives buyers a favourable entry point, with the spacious 22ft-plus sitting/dining room and loft room offering useful accommodation to build on.

The photographed interiors are generally usable but dated, so redecoration and selective updating can let a buyer put their own stamp on the house without assuming a full replacement of the kitchen. The enclosed garden is heavily overgrown and needs clearing; visible marks or peeling on the loft’s sloping surface are also worth investigating. The light works are estimated at £8,000–£17,000, making this a promising, manageable project overall.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £205 per sq ft, 18.4% below the local average.
  • Refresh the dated finishes while retaining the usable kitchen and generous sitting/dining room.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear garden, and make the loft room’s versatile use work for the next owner.
