This grand semi-detached Victorian home in the heart of Southsea delivers generous living space across multiple levels, ideal for a growing family. Tall ceilings, bay windows, ornate cornicing and period fireplaces give the house strong character and a traditional, light-filled feel. The wide master bedroom runs the width of the house and all four bedrooms sit over split-level upper floors, offering flexibility for family, home office or guest use.
Day-to-day living is arranged around a bay-fronted lounge, two further reception rooms, a practical kitchen with utility and a cloakroom on the ground floor. The rear courtyard garden faces west and has side pedestrian access — low-maintenance and private, but compact. The property is described as well presented throughout and retains many original details alongside modern conveniences such as double glazing and a gas central heating system.
Practical points to note: the house sits on a small plot with a paved courtyard rather than extensive outdoor space, and the area records above-average crime compared with national figures. Council Tax Band E applies. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the home is offered freehold with no flooding risk.
Located in a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood, local amenities and transport links are close at hand and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. This property suits buyers seeking a spacious period family home with character, convenient city living and relatively low garden maintenance.
