Freehold

Description

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION (at a date to be confirmed) UNLESS SOLD PREVIOUSLY.
GUIDE PRICE: £250,000.
We invite IMMEDIATE CASH OFFERS (on strict Auction terms) from investors and owner-occupiers for this well-situated VACANT HOUSE ARRANGED AS TWO FLATS, previously let and having a projected return of around £21,000 p.a., equivalent to a gross yield of some 8.5%. Percy Road runs from Fawcett Road to Francis Avenue, No. 83 being on the north side a short distance from the junction with Talbot Road. This is a popular and very convenient residential address, a wide range of public amenities being available within a radius of one mile, including: Southsea Town Centre and Seafront, main-line stations, St Mary's Hospital, University Campus, recreation facilities, shops and eateries. This inner-terrace former single family house has brick elevations under a modern tiled roof, the facade incorporating splay bay window and recessed porch. It stands behind a shallow forecourt, whilst to the rear is a walled patio garden, benefitting from pedestrian access via Manners Lane, and where scope exists to create off-street parking (subject to consents). The current layout, as two self-contained flats, is clearly historic, although lacking previous planning approval. Let until recently, the property has been in our clients' hands since 1991 and has been occupied continuously. Both units are presented in fair order, ready for immediate occupation. This opportunity is considered an excellent addition to any investment portfolio, having a lucrative potential yield, or will be of interest to private buyers seeking dual-occupation.
