Henderson Road, Southsea

This exceptional town house forms part of a unique terrace of just ten individual homes, converted from a prominent Royal Marines Garrison Church dating back to 1904-an award-winning restoration that claimed the Portsmouth Society's Best Restoration accolade in 1998. Spanning multiple split levels, the home effortlessly blends historic charm with contemporary finishes, showcasing original features such as exposed brickwork, stone columns, timber beams, and decorative mosaics. The well-designed layout includes a welcoming reception hall, cloakroom, vast storage spaces and a raised open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances. A spacious sitting room opens onto a generously sized, south-facing garden with mature borders and patio-just a short walk from the Southsea seafront. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, including a master with an en-suite, along with a modern family bathroom. With two allocated parking spaces to the front and character in abundance, this versatile home must be viewed internally to be truly appreciated.
