THE LOCATION

This bright and spacious four bedroom house is in an excellent location. If you're a student, you can almost roll out of bed into uni! It is next door to UoP's St George’s building, literally round the corner from the fantastic new Ravelin Sports Centre, and less than 5 minutes walk to the University Library. It is a one minute walk to Tesco for convenient food shopping, and the up market shops, restaurants, bars and cinemas at Gunwharf Quays are within 5 minutes walk. Portsmouth Harbour Station (mainline British Rail station) and The Hard (bus station) are also nearby.

THE LAYOUT

This house has a great "sandwich" layout - with bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground level and 2nd floor level, and on the middle floor there is a large sitting room and spacious kitchen. So it is a fantastic arrangement that would be ideal for two couples, or a group of 4 professional sharers or 4 uni students.

On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, utility sink, coat storage and back door to the garden. The garden has a gate providing access to an external path - handy for bins and bicycle access.

On the first floor, there is a spacious living room with two sofas and a dining set, and a separate kitchen that is well equipped with appliances, including a cooker, an oven, two large fridge freezers and a microwave.

On the second floor, there are two more bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower over the bath.

THE FURNISHINGS AND AMENETIES

Each bedroom is furnished with a bed, wardrobe, desk and study chair. All the rooms are quiet, and the rear bedrooms have a view of the back garden.

The house has gas central heating and double glazing throughout, so it is well insulated. There is a separate utility cupboard housing the Vaillant combi boiler that supplies unlimited instant hot water all the time.

There is a back garden that provides a great outdoor space when the weather is warm, and a safe place to keep bikes. On street car parking is available just outside the front door and residents can apply for a parking permit from Portsmouth City Council for a small fee.

The house will be professionally cleaned before the start of each new tenancy.

THE LANDLORD

The house is let and managed directly by the owners, who are professionals living locally and working in health and education, so they are easily contactable and there are no agent's fees. They have been improving the house since purchasing it 8 years ago – it has been redecorated, new carpets fitted and many of the appliances have been replaced. The owners have access to a team of maintenance personnel including electrician, plumber and maintenance man to ensure that all work is done in a timely and professional manner. 

THE HMO LICENCE

The City Council has recently granted a 5 year HMO licence, so tenants have the assurance of HMO status for that time. All paperwork including Electrical (EICR), Fire and Gas Safety certificates have been inspected by the City Council in June 2024 and fully up to date.

AVAILABILITY AND VIEWINGS

The house will be available from 31st August 2024 – it is ideal for a group of 4 professional sharers or university students, and international students are also welcome.

As there is a high demand for this property, to minimise the inconvenience to current tenants, the owners will be at the house conducting a block viewing this week. The first opportunity to view will be Monday, 1st July between 11.30am and 1pm. It may be possible to view the property at a later date if the property is not already taken by then.

Please do free to get in touch if you'd like to book a viewing, or if you have any questions.
