Summary - 16 WHITWELL ROAD SOUTHSEA PO4 0QR
5 bed 3 bath Terraced
Turnkey period charm with roomy interiors and garden near good schools.
Five double bedrooms across three floors, over 2,500 sq ft
This elegantly renovated Victorian mid-terrace blends period charm with contemporary family living. Over 2,500 sq ft of carefully finished accommodation includes ornate cornicing, sash bay windows and high ceilings alongside a high-quality fitted kitchen with Carrera marble surfaces and bi-folding doors opening onto a landscaped rear garden. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house and benefits from an en-suite also accessed from the adjacent nursery.
The flexible layout across multiple floors suits busy family life: cosy bay-fronted living room, generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. A spacious basement provides substantial storage and genuine potential for conversion to additional living space subject to building regulations. Local schools rated Good or Independent, low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support family needs.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the basement is currently undecorated and would need investment to convert; the plot is compact with a forecourt and a neatly landscaped rear garden rather than extensive grounds; cavity walls are listed as 'no insulation (assumed)' which may mean further energy-efficiency improvements are possible. Council Tax Band E reflects above-average running costs for the property.
Overall this is an outstanding family home for those who value period detail, generous internal space and turnkey presentation, while recognising some scope and cost for basement conversion and fabric upgrades to optimise energy performance.
