Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY 'Hampton House' is set over four floors with ample, flexible accommodation, which reflects its Victorian / Edwardian origins. It is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the best of the South Coast. Located in a road of imposing late Victorian, early Edwardian villas, it enjoys the element of privacy with space to the front and rear aspects and is a pleasant evenings stroll along the Southsea Victorian Promenade and Pier. The imposing home is a fine example of this period, it has been sympathetically restored and decorated, preserving some of the original ceilings, roses, coving, cornicing and architraves, however there are a number of modern facilities including en-suite shower rooms and a 'Linda Barker' style fitted kitchen which extends 29' in length and leads to the rear garden via bi-fold doors. There are five bedrooms providing plenty of space for the growing or grown up family and a second floor study, two of the bedrooms have en-suite rooms and there is a feature family bathroom with a whirlpool bath and separate shower. Spread over the ground floor is a large kitchen / breakfast room, utility room, drawing room and family room with a large basement / store room on the lowest level. The property is linked to its neighbours on the first and second floor but provides pedestrian access under the house from the front to rear as well as having a low maintenance rear garden with off road car parking for approximately two cars via a gated entrance.

Being located a short distance from Southsea seafront and also having the interesting Albert Road shopping district nearby it is a short drive into the City of Portsmouth or to Gunwharf Quays, there are also a number of highly regarded schools locally and as well as commercial and retail centres Portsmouth has a cross Channel ferry port, plus ferries and hovercrafts to the Isle of Wight as well as commutable road and rail links to London, the charming town of Chichester and Southampton Airport, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
