Situated along the ever-popular Welch Road in the heart of Southsea, this impressive end-of-terrace period residence stands notably larger than others on the street, offering substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over multiple levels. Set back from the road behind a deep front forecourt, the property immediately makes a striking first impression, enhanced by a charming period tiled pathway leading to the entrance. Inside, the home retains a wealth of original features, including ornate cornicing, elegant ceiling roses, and tall skirting boards, all of which reflect its grand heritage.
The ground floor provides an abundance of living space, comprising a generous living room, separate family room, and dining room - ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. A fitted kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room and a convenient ground floor WC. The upper floors are accessed via a splendid staircase with split-level landings, adding to the sense of character and space. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive bay-fronted principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite bathroom. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The property also benefits from solar panels and a 3-roomed cellar with heat and electricity providing substantial storage space. To the rear, the property boasts a mature garden, which can also be accessed via a side pedestrian access, offering a private and established outdoor space with plenty of potential for landscaping. While the house would benefit from modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for buyers to restore and enhance a substantial period home to their own taste and specification. Offered for sale with no forward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished and spacious home in a highly sought-after Southsea location.
