Property for sale: Truly immense potential, just off Southsea seafront

A renovation project with truly immense potential: enjoying a prime location immediately off the seafront, this substantial and imposing detached five-bedroom character residence is available to the open market for the first time in over 40 years, now presenting as a rare and highly desirable blank canvas opportunity for an incoming family to create a home of genuine quality and merit.

Helena Road runs from Eastern Parade to Salisbury Road, the former being widely regarded as the area's premier residential address. A Conservation Area (No. 29: Craneswater & Eastern Parade), this highly sought-after position is a level walk of minutes only from Seafront leisure and recreation facilities and the open beach, whilst Southsea town centre, with its comprehensive public amenities, is just three-quarters of a mile away.

A superior and imposing Edwardian residence built in the Mock Tudor style, No. 2 itself affords a generous and well-proportioned 3700 sq ft approx. of living space arranged over four floors.

A deep forecourt provides a private driveway in front of a large garage/workshop, and to the rear is an enclosed patio garden with easterly aspect.

Presented now with the benefit of no onward chain, and retaining many of its period features, the house is, as stated, in need of comprehensive modernisation and restoration, a position amply reflected in a keen and competitive asking price which allows a new owner huge scope to implement their own tastes and ideas, adding significant value, and creating a home with much to commend it.
