Overlooking the leafy expanse of the local park, this substantial five-bedroom semi-detached period home on Shirley Road offers a rare opportunity to secure a character property in one of Southsea’s most desirable locations. Blending elegant period features with contemporary updates, the house has already benefitted from a newly fitted kitchen and a stylish new family bathroom.
The current owner began a thoughtful programme of renovation and modernisation, but a change in personal circumstances means the property is now offered for sale mid-renovation - presenting an ideal opportunity for buyers keen to complete the works and add their own style and value. The generous accommodation is arranged over three floors, with bright, spacious rooms, high ceilings, and many original features retained. The front aspect enjoys open park views, while the rear garden offers a private outdoor space perfect for family life or entertaining. Conveniently located within easy reach of local schools, shops, and transport links, this property combines the charm of a period home with the potential to create a truly stunning residence tailored to your taste.
