Villiers Road, Southsea PO5 2HQ

Prime location in the very HEART OF SOUTHSEA TOWN CENTRE for this exceptionally rare opportunity - an extended MODERN SEMI-DETACHED FOUR BEDROOM FAMILY HOUSE with garage plus hardstand, southerly garden, replacement double-glazing and gas fired central heating; now REQUIRING REFURBISHMENT and presenting a desirable blank canvas.  Part of an historic and much sought-after Conservation Area (Owen's Southsea), Villiers Road runs between Palmerston Road and Malvern Road, No. 40 being on the south side a short distance from the junction with Lennox Road South, a level walk of just a few minutes from both The Seafront and Southsea Shopping Centre, and within comfortable reach of a wide range of public amenities. Built around 1958 and extended (over the garage) around 1980, the house itself is of attractive design with brick elevations under a pitched and tiled main roof, the facade incorporating integral garage, bold splay bay windows and canopied entrance. It stands behind a deep forecourt which provides additional car hardstand, whilst to the rear is a generous, sunny garden, some 33ft x 25ft, having side access. With other improvements having been carried out alongside the earlier extension, the overall presentation of the house is satisfactory, but, and as stated, it will now reward a programme of up-dating and attention to decor throughout. Reflected in a competitive asking price, the need for work grants to the incoming owner ample scope to implement their own tastes and ideas, and to create a home with much to commend it. Available now to the open market with the further asset of no onward chain, full details of this appealing property are given as follows and early enquiry is invited:
