Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY A truly outstanding example of an updated, regenerated and impressive double fronted Victorian Villa which has recently featured in the magazine �25 Beautiful Homes�. The property is situated in one of Southsea�s oldest conservation areas within easy access of local shopping amenities, bus routes, recreation grounds and highly regarded private schools. The impressive symmetrical designed central doorway and deep bay windows provides an airy and welcoming atmosphere to this lovingly restored home, which also benefits from new electrics and central heating system. The accommodation comprises hallway, dining room, family room/study, drawing room, cloakroom, utility room and open planned kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. The first floor comprises four bedrooms and family bathroom; the master bedroom having an en-suite dressing room, en-suite shower room and �Juliet� balcony. Having an enclosed, south facing, city style garden, garage and side pedestrian access, as well as being located right in the heart of Southsea, within walking distance of the shops, the Victorian esplanade and commutable transport links, an internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
