Eastern Parade, Southsea PO4 9RD

An opportunity of immense appeal and rarity set within SOUTHSEA'S PREMIER ADDRESS.  Commanding delightful and fascinating panoramic views to The Solent and Isle of Wight, this truly magnificent SIX BEDROOM DETACHED SEAFRONT CHARACTER RESIDENCE boasts generous gardens, double-width garage plus ample private parking, heated swimming pool, a wealth of period features, and, at some 5.500 sq. ft., extensive accommodation to meet all family needs. The most prestigious part of an historic and superior Conservation Area containing homes of a consistently high calibre, Eastern Parade is separated from Southsea Esplanade and the open beach by just the Miniature Golf Course and playing fields of Portsmouth Cricket Club, across which  'Branksome House' enjoys wonderful open views as a foreground to the expanse of The Solent beyond. Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct) is a very comfortable one mile to the west and a wide range of public amenities may be found within a similar radius. An outstanding Edwardian-era residence, 'Branksome House' is of grand and impressive design, its brick elevations incorporating front and side bay windows and balconies, all under a tiled roof with solar panels.  Approached via electronic gates, it stands upon a walled and landscaped plot, extending to some 150ft x 52ft, with a long, private driveway providing open parking for multiple vehicles in front of a double-width garage. To the rear is the heated pool - ideal for use when the nearby sea temperature is less than welcoming! Priced competitively, notable even among its near neighbours, and available now to the open market for the first time in 35  years, this opportunity has much to commend it to discerning buyers - genuine quality and distinction, breathtaking outlook, excellent private parking, and generous accommodation perfectly suited to an extended family and holding huge scope for individual needs to be met.
