Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY Brankesmere Terrace is made up of five bespoke, luxury townhouses which were designed and built by a local architect and construction company. The scheme encompassed both the design and construction of a terrace of five quality, four bedroom townhouses, situated within the Thomas Ellis Owen conservation area of Southsea. Considerate care was given to the buildings appearance, which was sympathetic to the surrounding architecture. The crescent fronted terrace sits proudly behind the high retaining wall on the land of the former historic Brankesmere House. The suitably spacious accommodation is arranged over four floors and provides over 1872 sq ft of living space, comprising; hallway, family room, cloakroom, large kitchen/breakfast room and utility room on the reception level with the drawing room on the first floor with twin double glazed French doors onto a balcony, on this level there is also the family bathroom and fourth bedroom, on the second floor is the master bedroom suite with en-suite shower room, a further bedroom with en-suite facilities, on the top floor is a large bedroom and store room with access to the boiler room and heating system (potential to create a further en-suite, subject to necessary consent). The properties were built to match the style of Thomas Ellis Owen, a local architect of the mid 1800's, the terrace sits behind a security gateway and provides off road car parking for two cars as well as visitors car parking. For a modern property the ceilings are high and the house has a light and airy feel, with quality fittings, sliding sash double glazed windows, central heating and floor coverings throughout. Situated in a private, residential location, known locally as the 'golden triangle', between St Johns College, the High School and Grammar School as well as being within easy access of local shopping amenities, historic waterfront and Southsea Common, offered with no forward chain, early internal viewing is of this conservation area located property is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
