Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY A rather grand substantial family home, although in close proximity to local shopping amenities, you feel at home within the walls of this Victorian Villa. This home offers flexible accommodation with ample space for the large family or those who need plenty of space for entertaining and putting up guests. 'White Lodge' has been updated and redecorated within the last two years and is currently arranged as a small homely guest house, however we are selling this as a private home. There are five bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, three reception rooms, kitchen breakfast room, utility room and a useable cellar/lower ground floor space. Located within the heart of Southsea within walking distance of the shops, Victorian Esplanade, several well regarded schools including Portsmouth Grammar School, Portsmouth High School for Girls and St John's College, it's the perfect home for many different family structures. Having off road parking and a garage, an enclosed city style garden and offered with no forward chain, early internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
