Hollam Road, Southsea, PO4

UNSOLD AT AUCTION. CASH (ONLY) OFFERS NOW INVITED.
GUIDE PRICE:  £330,000-£350,000.
OF INTEREST TO OWNER-OCCUPIERS IN PARTICULAR, this desirable and EXCEPTIONALLY RARE DETACHED THREE BEDROOM BUNGALOW with much potential. Hollam Road runs between Warren Avenue and Locksway Road, No. 2a being on the west side close to the former. This pleasant and popular residential address allows for ready access in and out of the city and places a wide range of public amenities within a radius of some one mile only, including:  Langstone Harbour foreshore, Milton and Bransbury parks, St Mary's Hospital, Fratton main-line station, local shops, and various schools. Dating from around 1930, and strikingly different from its neighbouring two-storey housing stock, No. 2a has rendered elevations under a modern, gabled and tiled main roof, its facade incorporating canopied entrance and single bay window. The bungalow stands behind a generous walled forecourt, whilst to the rear is a good-sized, westerly garden extending to a length of around 50ft. The subject of significant alteration and improvement during our client's ownership since 2007 (including replacement double-glazing, landscaping, and conversion of the former garage), the property would reward modest refurbishment, whilst also holding scope for further layout change/extension (subject to consent). Altogether, an excellent and most unusual blank canvas opportunity, full details of which are given as follows:
