GUIDE PRICE: £360,000 - £380,000.
OF INTEREST TO BUILDERS AND INVESTORS IN PARTICULAR: enjoying a sought-after location close to The Seafront and Southsea Town Centre, this NOW VACANT former 6 bedroom Guest House/Student Let property. REQUIRES GENERAL MODERNISATION and holds considerable future potential. Beach Road runs between Florence Road and Burgoyne Road, No. 25 being on the south side. This popular and very convenient position, parallel to South Parade, is just a few minutes walk from The Common and Seafront, less than half a mile from Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct) and within comfortable reach of a wide range of public amenities. This substantial inner-terrace, late-Victorian property has brick elevations under a modern tiled roof, the facade incorporating recessed porch and bold splay bay windows. It stands behind a shallow forecourt, whilst to the rear is an enclosed courtyard with southerly aspect. PLANNING & USE: our clients acquired the property as a Guest House (for which an Established Use Certificate was granted in 1973) later renting to student sharers. It should be noted that there is NO current HMO consent, and interested parties must satisfy themselves as to the planning position in respect of their own ideas for the building which may include continued lucrative letting, flat conversion, or reversion to a spacious family home. Full particulars of this opportunity are given as follows:
