Description

This impressive townhouse, originally built circa 1780 for General Henry Smith of the Royal Marines, offers a unique blend of period elegance and modern convenience. Located near Portsmouth Grammar School, it also enjoys proximity to other esteemed local institutions such as Portsmouth High School and Mayville School. The prime location provides easy access to Gunwharf Quays, the seafront, Southsea Common, and Central Southsea. Excellent transport links are nearby, including Portsmouth train and bus stations, ferries, and motorway connections.

The accommodation features a grand entrance hall and staircase, two elegant reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen breakfast room, a separate utility room, and a downstairs cloakroom. There are seven bedrooms, including six doubles and one single, currently used as a study. The magnificent drawing room is designed in a double-cube style, offering a sense of grandeur. The property includes two bathrooms, three shower rooms, and a ground-floor WC.

The lower ground floor is already set up as a self-contained unit, making it ideal for long-term rentals or short-term holiday lets. With both internal and external access, this versatile space provides an excellent opportunity to generate rental income or accommodate guests independently of the main house.

The property also benefits from a private roof sun terrace, a well-maintained garden, and two gated allocated parking spaces. Period details such as original fireplaces, high ceilings, ornate egg-and-dart cornicing, sash windows, and parquet flooring are beautifully complemented by modern fixtures and fittings throughout the kitchen and bathrooms
