This substantial Victorian terraced home in Southsea spreads comfortably over four floors and will suit a large family seeking space and period character. The house offers five generous bedrooms, high ceilings, bay windows and plenty of original detail that create an impressive, characterful interior. The large open-plan kitchen and sizable dining and reception rooms make the ground floor social and practical for family life and entertaining.
Practical points are clear: the property is freehold, gas‑fired central heating to radiators is in place, and the basement adds flexible space for a family room, office or hobby area. The garden is modest in size but private and typical of Southsea — an easy outdoor space to maintain. The location is a strong selling point: walking distance to the seafront, close to Albert Road’s cafés and amenities, and near several well‑rated schools.
Buyers should note a few material considerations up front. The wider area is classified as deprived with higher local crime levels; prospective purchasers should factor neighbourhood safety into their decision. The walls are cavity-built with no assumed insulation and the double glazing install date is unknown, so buyers may want to budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Plot size is small compared with the house’s footprint.
Overall this is an imposing family home with substantial living space and period charm in a sought-after Southsea pocket. It will particularly appeal to families wanting room to grow and those who value original features, while purchasers sensitive to neighbourhood conditions or needing a highly efficient thermal envelope should factor in potential works.
