This three-bedroom terraced house on Devonshire Avenue in Southsea, Portsmouth, presents a mixed bag. The property boasts a desirable location, close to excellent primary schools (Devonshire Infant and Fernhurst Junior schools both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and within walking distance of Southsea’s seafront and amenities. Proximity to Fratton train station adds to its appeal for commuters.

However, the property is in need of significant modernisation. The interior photographs reveal dated decor, fixtures, and fittings. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly outdated, requiring complete refurbishment. The small, enclosed rear garden offers limited outdoor space.

The list price of £300,000 needs further investigation to determine its reasonableness. Comparative data from nearby properties is limited, with some properties significantly more expensive and others much less, creating a wide valuation range. The absence of precise plot size details and the average price per square foot further complicate a precise market valuation. A thorough survey and potentially a competitive bidding process would be advisable for potential buyers to determine fair value. Buyers should factor the costs of renovation into any purchase offer.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
