Welcome to Portsmouth Road! A substantial four bedroom semi-detached house in Woolston which has so much versatility with planning approved for a loft conversion adding two bedrooms and a bathroom. The current owner rents out a couple of rooms in the property to lodges. He initially started to convert the house into a HMO as he has planning permission to do so but then decided to sell instead. Therefore, he has started to modify the house accordingly so some basic adaptations would be needed to easily return it back into a large family home. This traditional, Victorian home was built circa 1900 and was designed to be spacious and comfortable, with grand proportions and a heightened sense of space and light. Inside, the property is full of original charm and history and is approached via an elegant entrance hall which immediately showcases the grandeur of this home with high ceilings, cast iron fireplace and original coving. There is a stunning lounge doubling up as a bedroom, formal dining room which again could be used as another bedroom, a 11ft kitchen featuring a range cooker and french doors to a spacious conservatory. Further in is a large bathroom and a separate wc. On the first floor, there are four primary rooms, including an impressive open plan kitchen/living area which benefits from built in appliances and a bay window. There are two further bedrooms, a utility/wc and a stunning four piece bathroom comprising a walk in shower, sleek vanity unit and separate bath. There is a spacious landing area where a staircase would be position to form the loft conversion. Outside to the rear, the property features an exceptional garden which has been designed with entertaining & low maintenance in mind. There is a large patio area which offers ample room for outdoor furniture alongside a lawn with mature shrub borders. There is a further decked area to the rear of the garden along with summer house and hot tub area. To the front is a gated driveway for a number of vehicles.
Location The general character of Portsmouth Road and the Old Woolston area is suburban with traces of the former rural settlement that gave it its special character in the past. Most properties on Portsmouth Road preserved their original frontage including bay windows, tiled porches/verandas, decorative brick work, barge boards and original front doors which lend an attractive residential character. Residents of Portsmouth Road are able to access an outstanding selection of shops, cafes and amenities nearby in the vibrant Woolston High Street and excellent choice of local schools including the Woolston Infant School, St Patrick's Catholic Primary School and Ludlow Junior School. There is a number of natural attractions nearby including Peartree Green Nature Reserve, the Archery Grounds and Millers Pond Nature Reserve; a 20-acre site of mixed woodland, open grassland and a large pond; one of the few remaining large ponds in the city. Next to the Nature Reserve is the beloved Miller's Pond pub where visitors can enjoy a large beer garden with outside bar for the summer, outside stage for live acts and showing of all major sport events with a huge selection of draft beers, wines and spirits.
