Description

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION on the 20th OCTOBER 2026 at The Queens Hotel, Southsea.
GUIDE PRICE:  £220,000-£240,000
Of interest to builders, investors and keen owner-occupiers: enjoying a pleasant and popular location, this THREE BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE benefits from gas central heating, replacement double-glazing, and a 47ft garden with car hardstand and garage: it is NOW IN NEED OF GENERAL MODERNISATION and holds considerable potential.  A short distance from Baffins Pond Recreation Area, Paignton Avenue runs between Eastbourne Road and Moneyfield Avenue, a tucked away yet convenient position that grants ready access in and out of the city, and close proximity to a wide range of public amenities. Dating from around 1930, No. 42 itself features mainly brick elevations under a pitched and tiled roof, the facade incorporating canopied entrance and tile-hung double square bay. It stands behind a walled forecourt, whilst to the rear is a generous garden, having an easterly aspect, within which is a garage and car hardstand approached via a shared driveway. As stated, the property will now reward a programme of refurbishment throughout, being then well-suited to re-sale, lucrative letting (circa £1,800 p.c.m.  projected) or owner-occupation.
