Description

Enjoying a much sought-after location close to Southsea Seafront, this impressive SEMI-DETACHED CHARACTER PROPERTY benefits from central heating, replacement double-glazing, potential for off-street parking, and a delightful south-facing garden; arranged currently as TWO SELF-CONTAINED FLATS, it is ideal for dual-occupation, or would revert to a fine 4 BEDROOM FAMILY HOME following straightforward layout change (consent for which is being applied for by the Vendor). Festing Grove runs from Festing Road to St Georges Road, with No. 104 being on the south side a short distance from the latter. Parallel to, and just north of the prestigious Eastern Parade, this desirable residential address is minutes only from the Seafront and open beach whilst Southsea Town Centre is some one mile to the west and provides a wide range of public amenities. This superior Edwardian residence has brick elevations under a modern tiled roof, the facade incorporating recessed porch and gabled double bay window. It stands behind an 'L'-shaped forecourt where it is felt scope exists to create a car hardstand (subject to consent), whilst to the rear is a generous garden, 30ft (9.14m) x 24ft (7.32m), having an attractive and bright outlook. Let until recently, the property, as stated, affords two self-contained apartments, an arrangement considered well-suited to an extended family. Alternatively, little effort would be involved in restoring the original layout, with associated refurbishment creating a superior and spacious family home with much to commend it.
