Southsea, Hampshire

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 townhouses, situated within the Thomas Ellis Owen conservation area of Southsea. Considerate care was given to the building's 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 2318 sq ft of living space, comprising; hallway, sitting room, cloakroom, large kitchen/breakfast room opening to the superb orangery and utility room on the reception level with two bedrooms and an interlinking bathroom on the first floor and two further bedrooms (on with an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom on the second floor with a large loft storage room and fifth bedroom on the top floor.

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. The ceilings are high and the house has a light and airy feel, with quality fittings, sliding sash double glazed wooden windows, central heating and floor coverings throughout.

Situated in a private, residential location, known locally as the 'golden triangle', between Mayville School, the High School and Grammar School as well as being within easy access of local shopping amenities, historical waterfront and Southsea Common, offered with no forward chain, early internal viewing of this conservation area located property is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
