Semi-detached house for sale in Brecon Avenue, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO6

A rare and hugely desirable blank canvas opportunity enjoying a highly sought-after cul-de-sac location on the southern slope of Portsdown Hill - set in generous gardens with off-street parking, this four bedroom semi-detached family house is available to the open market for the first time in 60 years; now requiring general modernisation, it is keenly priced and offers considerable potential for incoming owners to create a home of quality and distinction. Within the much-favoured "Welsh Avenues" enclave, tree-lined Brecon Avenue lies to the north of the main Havant Road, approached via Penarth Avenue. This exceptionally convenient, yet tucked away residential address is some three-quarters of a mile only from Cosham Town Centre and convenient to a wide range of public amenities. Dating from around 1930, the house itself features brick and rendered elevations under a tiled main roof, the double-fronted facade incorporating recessed porch flanked by bay windows. It stands well back from the road behind a planted forecourt which affords a double-length car hardstand, whilst to the rear is a delightful garden, some 68ft in length, with sunny, westerly aspect.
