Summary - 12 HIGH STREET PORTSMOUTH PO1 2LP
5 bed 4 bath Terraced
Spacious Grade II listed townhouse in Old Portsmouth, chain free and newly decorated..
Grade II listed Georgian terrace, c.1720
An impressive Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Old Portsmouth, this substantial terraced home blends high-ceilinged period character with recent cosmetic refurbishment. Across four principal floors and approximately 3,583 sqft, the house offers flexible family living with four/five double bedrooms, four bathrooms and an ensuite to the principal bedroom.
The accommodation suits a family or professionals who value space and historic detail: ornate fireplaces, tall windows and generous reception rooms are complemented by a modern kitchen, utility room and newly decorated interiors. A private Old Portsmouth courtyard garden provides a low-maintenance outdoor retreat, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working. Local train links provide straightforward journeys to London.
Buyers should note material points: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict external and many internal alterations and may complicate renovations or replacement works. The solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and the age of the double glazing is unknown, which could affect running costs and future improvement budgets. Council tax is described as very expensive.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this large, characterful townhouse will suit purchasers seeking a substantial, centrally located family home with historic appeal — or investors targeting high-demand central Portsmouth lettings — but it requires acceptance of listed-building constraints and potential thermal upgrade work.
