About this listing

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION on the 20th OCTOBER 2026 at The Queens Hotel, Southsea. GUIDE PRICE: £220,000-£240,000 Of interest to builders, investors and keen owner-occupiers: enjoying a pleasant and popular location, this THREE BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE benefits from gas central heating, replacement double-glazing, and a 47ft garden with car hardstand and garage: it is NOW IN NEED OF GENERAL MODERNISATION and holds considerable potential.
