Drayton Road, Portsmouth

Two Bedrooms, both 13ft x 10ft | Two Reception Rooms | Additional W.C. and Utility Room | Converted Loft Room | West Facing, Low Maintenance Garden | Nearly New Boiler | Good Transport Links, Shops, Schools

The Property - Situated in a convenient Portsmouth location, this two bedroom terraced home offers great bedroom sizes, flexible accommodation and some particularly useful additional spaces that make it stand out from the typical two bedroom property.

The ground floor provides two separate reception rooms, giving plenty of flexibility for both living and dining. This leads through to the kitchen and the family bathroom which is also located downstairs, and features a shower over the bath.

To the rear is a low maintenance west facing garden, ideal for anyone looking for an easy to manage outside space while benefiting from the afternoon and evening sunshine.

Upstairs, you'll find two particularly generous double bedrooms, both measuring approximately 13ft x 10ft, providing plenty of room for bedroom furniture and storage.

Bedroom 1 also provides access to an upstairs W.C., adding some welcome convenience to the first floor. There is also the unusual benefit of a separate utility room upstairs, keeping laundry appliances away from the main living areas and making day to day washing that little bit easier.

Ladder access leads to a useful loft room, currently being utilised by the seller as a bedroom. This provides fantastic additional flexible space and could equally lend itself to storage or a hobby area.

The property also benefits from a newer boiler, installed approximately 18 months ago, providing additional peace of mind for the next owners.

Drayton Road is well positioned for everyday convenience, with a variety of shops and amenities nearby, as well as several schools within the surrounding area. Excellent transport connections also make getting around Portsmouth and travelling further afield straightforward, making this a particularly practical location for families and commuters alike.

With two reception rooms, two excellent sized double bedrooms, additional loft space, a utility room, upstairs W.C., west facing garden and a newer boiler, this is a good sized and versatile home with plenty to offer its next owners.

What The Agent Thinks - I actually live close to this area myself, so I can personally vouch for just how convenient the location is. Having several different routes in and out of Portsmouth makes such a difference, particularly if you're commuting, and having so many shops, amenities, schools and everyday essentials close by makes day to day life incredibly easy.

What I particularly like about this house, though, is the amount of potential it offers. It's already a good sized home with two huge double bedrooms, two reception rooms and the additional loft space, but with a relatively simple rejig of the existing layout, I think you could make it even better.

The upstairs utility room immediately caught my attention. Depending on the necessary permissions and practicalities, I think it could lend itself brilliantly to creating a walk in wardrobe and ensuite for the adjoining bedroom. Having your own dressing area and ensuite in a traditional Portsmouth home would be a very rare treat and could create a fantastic principal bedroom suite.

Add in the west facing garden, newer boiler and those generous room sizes, and I think this is a home where someone could move straight in, enjoy it as it is and then gradually put their own stamp on it.

For me, it's the combination of space, location and potential that makes this one particularly interesting.
