Grand Style & Family Heritage
Owned by the same family for over 30 years, the home has been cherished and loved — and it shows. From its striking period façade to the elegant interior proportions, it retains the character and spirit of the era while offering flexible space for modern living.

Flexible Living Across Five Levels

Entrance Level – A welcoming hallway leads to a stunning dining area that links seamlessly to the kitchen, plus a cloakroom/WC.

Lower Ground Level – A versatile large study/workshop (or additional bedroom), a utility room, and useful storage spaces. This lower ground floor level could be truly independent to the main home if so required with some amendments. Ideal for the older teenager, a family couple, place of work, a home with an income, or a private space for visiting guests and family.

Upper Levels – Five bedrooms, a main lounge, and an additional study/office. A number of rooms enjoy views across Southsea Common, the coastline, and the Solent. There are two family bathrooms, an en-suite to the master, and the top front bedroom benefits from a roof terrace with spectacular far-reaching views.

Outdoor Space
The property enjoys its own gated entrance leading to a private front courtyard garden, while the rear garden provides another peaceful spot — both perfect for following the sun throughout the day.

Unbeatable Location

Everything is on your doorstep: Southsea Common, the seafront, the historic naval city of Portsmouth, excellent schools including Portsmouth Grammar, the University, mainline train links to London, ferry connections to the Isle of Wight, and a wide choice of restaurants, bars, and leisure activities.
