We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A blank canvas opportunity with considerable potential: now REQUIRING REFURBISHMENT, and keenly priced accordingly, this SPACIOUS FOUR BEDROOM END-TERRACE CHARACTER FAMILY HOUSE enjoys an exceptionally convenient location in the very HEART OF SOUTHSEA TOWN CENTRE.
Forming part of a sought-after Conservation Area (Castle Road), Pelham Road runs from Elm Grove to St Edwards Road, tucked away, yet just a short walk from Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct, and with a wide range of public amenities within a radius of some one mile only, including: Southsea Common and The Seafront, main-line stations, local shops and eateries, various good schools, the Gunwharf Quays retail and leisure complex, and the many attractions of historic Old Portsmouth.
This substantial and well-proportioned late-Victorian property has brick elevations under a modern tiled roof, the facade incorporating recessed porch and bold double bay window.
It stands behind a walled forecourt, whilst to the rear, enjoying an easterly aspect, is a 28ft garden with the asset of side pedestrian access.
As stated, the house will now reward an element of refurbishment to its fixtures and decor, etc., with further scope to make changes to the layout (the combination, for example, of kitchen and breakfast room) to suit personal tastes and needs.
A project with great appeal for incoming owners to implement their own ideas and to create a family home with much to commend it.
