Situated on the ever-popular Pelham Road in the heart of Southsea, this impressive double bay and forecourt period terrace offers beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over split levels, combining classic period character with stylish modern living. The property retains a wealth of original features throughout, including ornate cornicing, marble fireplaces, high ceilings and generous room proportions, creating a home of both charm and presence.
Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads to a magnificent open-plan lounge and dining room, a superb entertaining space enhanced by the property’s striking bay windows and period detailing. To the rear of the ground floor is a beautifully designed kitchen / breakfast / family room fitted with a solid wood kitchen by Victoriana, offering extensive storage and solid wood work surfaces. Large bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, and tall picture windows on the side flood the space with natural light, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months. A useful WC / utility room completes the ground floor accommodation. The upper floors are arranged over attractive split levels and provide five well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefitting from its own walk-in wardrobe. The grand principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a fully bespoke curved-wall dressing room and an elegant en suite shower room. A spacious family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Externally, the property enjoys a tall walled west-facing garden, offering a wonderful degree of privacy along with mature trees and planting, creating a peaceful and established outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
