6 Bed Detached House For Sale

Enjoying a sought-after and very convenient location within a Central Southsea Conservation Area, this impressive and substantial SEMI-DETACHED CHARACTER RESIDENCE is arranged currently to afford an attractive ONE BEDROOM GARDEN FLAT together with FIVE ROOM H.M.O.  above. Now available with full Vacant Possession, it lends itself to a variety of future uses, including: home and income, lucrative letting of the whole, dual-occupation by an extended family, or reversion to a fine single private home. St Andrews Road is at right-angles to Elm Grove, No. 22 being on the east side directly opposite the junction with Cottage Grove. This position places a wide range of public amenities within a radius of some one mile only, including: Southsea Seafront and Town Centre, main-line stations, shops and eateries, and the many attractions of historic Old Portsmouth. No. 22 itself dates from the late-Victorian period and features brick elevations under a tiled roof with dormer, the facade incorporating double splay bay window. It stands behind a deep, planted forecourt, whilst to the rear is a delightful, well-stocked garden with sunny, easterly garden. In our client's hands since the 1980s, the property has provided an excellent home and income. It holds a Certificate of Lawful Existing Use as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO, Class C4) and offers scope for a lucrative rental return, particularly if the upper rooms are up-graded. As stated, other potential uses are considered to exist (any change being subject to the necessary consent) and this opportunity is seen as well-suited to a variety of parties, both owner-occupiers and investors.
