Gloucester View, Southsea

This impressive period home has been thoughtfully renovated and beautifully presented throughout, combining a wealth of original character with high-quality contemporary finishes. The heart of the home is the exceptional open-plan kitchen/diner, which features a bespoke Tom Howley kitchen. The room is fitted with an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and a substantial matching island with breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include an oven, separate grill, warming drawer, dishwasher and drinks fridge, complemented by full-height pantry-style cupboards, under-unit lighting and a Quooker instant boiling-water tap. The vaulted ceiling, roof windows and impressive glazed gable with adjoining double doors flood the room with natural light and provide a seamless connection with the rear garden. The accommodation is arranged over several levels and offers excellent flexibility for modern family life. The entrance level provides an elegant hallway together with two reception rooms, while the lower level offers two further bedrooms and a secondary entrance, making this part of the house particularly useful for children, guests or those seeking adaptable living and working space. The upper floors provide two further bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, alongside a beautifully appointed shower room and a separate traditional family bathroom. The shower room has a distinctly contemporary feel, with marble-effect tiled walls, herringbone flooring, twin wash basins and a striking black-framed glazed shower enclosure. The family bathroom retains a more traditional character with its freestanding roll-top bath, claw feet, pedestal basin, exposed wooden flooring and decorative wall panelling. The established rear garden features a generous decked terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto a further garden area with mature trees, shrubs and planted borders. Tall hedging, fencing and surrounding brick walls provide a good degree of privacy. In addition, an enclosed internal courtyard is accessed from the kitchen/diner and adjoining landing, providing a further secluded outdoor area. Overall, this is a substantial and beautifully appointed period home that successfully balances original character with contemporary design. The combination of generous and flexible accommodation, an exceptional bespoke kitchen, impressive entertaining space and attractive private outdoor spaces makes this a particularly appealing home for modern family living.
