Description

Brankesmere House, a Grade 2 listed property, was originally built in Victorian times and has a rich history, having been a family home, a girls' boarding school, a Police HQ, and a social services office. The property has been extensively restored and offers flexible accommodation over three floors, including a principal reception room, dining room, kitchen, three double bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The property also features an orangery, a cinema room, a gym, a utility room, and a large home office, all located on the lower ground floor. The garden is a significant feature, being one of the largest private gardens in Southsea, with a large lawn area, mature landscaped borders, a summer house, and a natural water bathing pool. The property is located in the Owen Conservation Area, a prime residential area of Southsea, and offers a unique combination of history, style, and location. The current owner is selling the southwest wing of the property, known as No 2 Brankesmere House, and also owns the central part of the property, which is also for sale, providing the opportunity to reinstate the property into one residence or use it for other purposes, such as commercial or leisure, subject to planning permission.
