This stylish two bedroom terraced property, complete with a large four-piece first floor bathroom, is conveniently located close to local amenities and would make an ideal first-time purchase or family home. Situated on Guilford Road in Fratton, the property offers two separate reception rooms on the ground floor, including a lounge with a feature fireplace and a generous storage cupboard.

Moving through the home is a modern fitted kitchen with access to a ground floor W.C. and a separate utility space, providing practical day-to-day functionality. The first floor then offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the master benefitting from built-in wardrobes, along with additional storage on the landing and a wonderful, stylish four-piece bathroom suite.

Externally, the property enjoys a delightful west-facing rear garden, plus a large store/workshop to the rear with pedestrian access.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
