Large 1,421 sq ft Grade II listed townhouse with period features
Private courtyard garden and separate garage for parking/storage
Freehold tenure; spacious rooms and useful cellar storage
Close to Gunwharf Quays, shops, restaurants, and local schools

Set over generous proportions, this Grade II listed end-terrace offers three bedrooms, original period features and a private courtyard garden with garage. High ceilings, sash windows and a cellar give the house strong character and useful storage, while the 1,421 sq ft footprint provides comfortable family living close to Gunwharf Quays and local shops, bars and restaurants.
The home will suit a buyer who values location and historic detail and is prepared to manage a listed building. The conservatory and some internal fittings are dated and there is assumed lack of wall insulation; upgrading windows and services would improve comfort and running costs. Note the property’s listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, double glazing installed before 2002 and a garage for parking or storage. There is no flood risk here and mobile signal is excellent. However, council tax is described as expensive and the local area records higher crime levels, factors to weigh when considering family life and security.
For families seeking period living in Old Portsmouth, the house offers substantial space, authentic character and central convenience, with scope to modernise. Interested buyers should obtain specialist advice about listed-building consent and expected upgrade costs before committing.
