Summary - Clifton Terrace, Southsea, PO5 PO5 3NL
5 bed 3 bath Town House
Spacious five-bedroom period home in a gated mews, minutes from Southsea Common and the sea.
Five generous bedrooms across five levels with high ceilings and period details
A striking Victorian townhouse dating from 1861, set within a gated mews a short stroll from Southsea Common and the seafront. The house spans five levels, offering five bedrooms, three bathrooms and flexible living spaces totalling about 3,181 sq ft — ideal for multi-generational families or anyone needing home and work space together. Several rooms enjoy open views across the Common towards the Solent, and the top front bedroom has a roof terrace with far-reaching sea views.
The lower-ground level provides a large study/workshop, utility and storage and could be converted to a self-contained annex with some alterations — useful for older children, guests, or rental income. Outside there is a gated front courtyard, a rear garden, and private off-street parking accessed within the mews, giving rare seclusion so close to the shoreline and local amenities.
The property retains many original period features and high ceilings, giving generous room proportions and character throughout. It has been cherished by one family for over 30 years but will suit buyers happy to carry out selective updating in places to meet contemporary standards. Note practical considerations: local crime levels are reported as high and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working and some buyers' peace of mind.
View as a versatile, character-rich family home with strong location credentials and scope to improve value through modernisation or partial sub-division for rental potential. The freehold tenure and sizable plot add further appeal for families seeking space near the sea.
