Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY 'Annesley House' is an impressive period semi-detached villa, which has recently been converted from what was a 'Thomas Ellis Owen' detached home, within the heart of the oldest conservation area in Southsea, yet within easy access of local shopping amenities, bus routes, recreation grounds, highly regarded private schools and the Victorian waterfront. This stylish Villa has recently gone through a sympathetic conversion and extensive restoration programme and now forms an impressive four storied villa, with a grand first floor drawing room overlooking the established mature grounds, plus the opportunity for the purchaser to plan and fit their own kitchen and bathrooms. The 2980 sq ft of living accommodation is arranged over four floors and provides four / five double bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities and the master being laid out over the whole top floor. However the space is versatile and could be rearranged to provide extra bedroom or reception space. On the entrance level, there is a superb open plan family living space providing an ideal layout for perspective buyers to design and fit their own kitchen, a cloakroom and a large utility room. On the first floor, the grand lounge leads to a home office /gym. A private gated driveway leads to mature gardens wrapping round three sides of this family home and with the potential to finish the project to your own taste. Early internal viewing of this impressive villa is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
