Set within a gated Southsea mews, this substantial Victorian townhouse (circa 1861) offers five bedrooms, generous reception rooms and far-reaching Solent views from a roof terrace. The property spans five levels and about 3,181 sq ft, with private off-street parking and both front and rear garden areas—ideal for families seeking space near the seafront and Southsea Common.
Accommodation is highly versatile: a lower-ground level currently arranged as a large study/workshop and utility area could be adapted into independent living with some amendments, while upper floors include five bedrooms, two family bathrooms and an en-suite to the main bedroom. High ceilings and period features give character throughout; several rooms enjoy coastline and Common views.
Buyers should note material practicalities alongside the charm. The area records higher crime levels than average, broadband speeds are very slow, and the multi-level Victorian layout will require ongoing maintenance and selective updating. The lower-ground space would need work to be fully independent. Flood risk is low and the property is freehold.
This home suits a family or multi-generational household who value location, space and period character, and who are prepared to manage refurbishment and modernisation where needed. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, the gardens and the exceptional roof-line views across the Solent.
