6 bed terraced house for sale

Kent Road, Southsea PO5

‘Queensbury’ is a truly impressive and historically significant residence, offering over 4,100sqft of substantial and versatile accommodation across four storeys. This superb Grade II Listed residence was built circa 1841 by renowned local architect Thomas Ellis Owen, whose work helped shape much of Southsea, and has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated to a high standard whilst retaining an abundance of original period and character features, maintaining a wealth of charm throughout.

Internally, the ground floor boasts three substantial reception rooms, all enhanced by period fireplaces, high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and elegant plasterwork, with natural light pouring in throughout, as well as a fully fitted kitchen with appliances and a breakfast bar, adding flexibility. To the lower ground floor there is exceptional additional space on offer, including two generous reception rooms, a boot room, bathroom, utility/laundry area, and a large principal kitchen/diner complete with a full-sized aga and direct access to the garden.

Across the upper two floors are six large well-proportioned bedrooms and two family bathrooms, offering excellent accommodation for larger families, multi-generational living, or those seeking dedicated work-from-home space. The layout also lends itself to use as a self-contained area for guests, an au pair, or extended family.

Rare for the area, the property also benefits from parking to the front as well as vehicular access and private parking to the rear, where there is a spacious enclosed flagged stone courtyard with access via both the ground and lower ground floors.
