The list price of £278,000 seems reasonably competitive considering the comparable properties in the area, even though precise square footage for those properties is unavailable. The property’s condition and modest garden size somewhat offset the benefits of its location. While not a steal, the price appears within a fair market range for a two-bedroom bungalow in Portchester.

The property appears well-maintained, though the interior design is somewhat dated. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional and reasonably clean, but a refresh could enhance the property’s overall aesthetic appeal and potentially increase its value. There are no visible signs of major structural damage or disrepair.

Portchester is a desirable coastal town in Hampshire, known for its historic castle and proximity to the sea. The property’s location within a short distance of the shoreline, good schools (Portchester Community School and Castle Primary School are both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and are within walking distance), and convenient access to Portchester train station, adds to its appeal. While some nearby streets command higher average prices, the location itself provides a good balance of amenities and a relatively tranquil environment.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive feature. However, the size is not specified, and based on the images provided it appears to be a relatively small, manageable garden area. While there’s outdoor space, it’s not extensive, hence the moderate score.
