This Grade II listed Georgian terraced house is a striking example of the flair and style of the 'Father of Southsea', Thomas Ellis Owen. With clean lines, white render and symmetry typical of the age, multi-paned picture windows and a grandness befitting its history, the property is nestled behind a boundary wall with electric gates right in the heart of Southsea. The house enjoys an expansive front garden, space for parking multiple vehicles and quiet seclusion not often found so close to the centre of Southsea. The current owner undertook a complete renovation with a detailed and sympathetic schedule of works to shore up the property for the future whilst retaining the period charm. The roof structure was replaced, the foundations were repaired and improved, and period features renovated. The exhaustive renovation included exceptionally high quality fittings. The bespoke kitchen from Wood Works of Brighton includes an extensive range of quality integrated appliances and a Quooker hot water & filter tap plus a beautiful geometric island unit. The family bathroom is an opulent haven with recessed mood lighting which compliments the dark tiling and colour scheme. The internal accommodation measures almost 2000sqft and comprises; from the raised portico entrance and front door, an entrance porch, giving way to an open plan lounge and sitting room with Parquet-style flooring, ornate cornicing, column radiators and Plantation-style window shutters. The lower ground floor holds the bespoke kitchen and includes a cosy built-in bench dining area. This room also gives access via double door and steps up to the front garden. On the upper floors; four bedrooms including a sensational master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, flooded with light through south-facing windows, the luxurious family bathroom, an additional shower room and a utility cupboard. With its character, history, location, and parking, properties of this calibre are rare to the market and so an early inspection is recommended and offers invited. The property was also featured in the September 2020 issue of Ideal Homes - a testament to the noteworthy finish of the property.
