Elphinstone Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England is a five bedroom, three bathroom semi-detached property. The property is situated on a 3,202 sqft plot and has a total area of 2,714.06 sqft. The property is listed at £650,000. The property is located close to several schools including Portsmouth High School (0.34km), St John’s College (0.58km), Cottage Grove Primary School (0.71km), and St Jude’s Cofe Primary School (1.04km). The University of Portsmouth is also within close proximity (1.06km). Several South Western Railway stations are also nearby, offering convenient access to transportation links. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be a period property, retaining many of its original features. While it has character, some areas show signs of needing modernisation. The carpets and some of the decor appear dated. The kitchen appears functional but could benefit from an update. The bathrooms are relatively modern. The garden is relatively small, but it does provide some outdoor space. Compared to the average price per sqft in the area (£375), the listing price of £650,000 for this 2,714.06 sqft property seems high. The average price for properties in the area is £378,775, significantly lower than the listing price. However, the size of this property is significantly larger than the average property size (1,010 sqft) in the area. Nearby comparable properties on Elphinstone Road are significantly lower in price, but lack the size and number of bedrooms of this property. The higher price could be justified by the larger size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the period features, but a full survey would be needed to ascertain the true condition and value of the property. The property benefits from a number of period features, which adds to its character and potential value. However, these features may also require maintenance or restoration. The presence of a garden, although relatively small, is a positive feature. The location is convenient, with good access to schools and transportation. The price, however, appears high relative to other properties in the area, although the size and number of rooms may justify this to some extent.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
