Timeless Victorian elegance meets modern family living in the heart of Portswood.

This mid-19th century Victorian home, with architecture dating back approximately 180 years, is truly one of a kind. Nestled in a small enclave in central Portswood, it exudes character and period charm throughout.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand hallway with decorative coving and impressively high ceilings. To the front, an elegant reception room boasts a large sash window that fills the space with natural light.

The lower ground floor features a large basement room, offering flexible space for storage or potential further use.

On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom, located at the rear, benefits from elevated ceilings and charming garden views. Three additional double bedrooms include one with a separate staircase, historically serving as a former servant’s quarter, adding character and history to the home. A modern family bathroom and separate cloakroom provide practical convenience for a growing family.

The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, originally intended for staff accommodation. Both rooms provide ample space and can easily function as guest rooms, home offices, or teenage retreats.

Outside, the private rear garden is a peaceful haven framed by mature trees and shrubs, with a well-maintained lawn ideal for children and family enjoyment. Two patio seating areas create perfect spots for al fresco dining, summer barbecues, or simply relaxing in the sun.
