6 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A rare opportunity to acquire Fintragh House, a grand and imposing Victorian residence of considerable character and scale, understood to have once formed part of the historic Fintragh School. This elegant home beautifully balances period grandeur with contemporary refinement, offering flexible accommodation of up to six bedrooms arranged over generous proportions. From the moment you step inside, the property impresses with its tall ceilings, striking sense of space and abundance of natural light. Many original features remain, including open fireplaces and exposed floorboards, which sit effortlessly alongside stylish modern fittings to create a home that feels both timeless and comfortable. A grand bay-fronted living room has ample space for a large seating area and formal dining, and an outstanding kitchen / dining has access onto the courtyard garden. Upstairs, one of the principal rooms is currently arranged as a magnificent library/home office - complete with a sliding ladder affixed to built in book shelving - an exceptional space ideal for remote working, reading or entertaining, though it could easily serve as an additional bedroom if required. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and versatile, making the property ideal for families, professionals or those seeking adaptable living. Each floor has a well appointed bathroom. To the rear, a private courtyard garden provides a secluded outdoor retreat, perfect for low-maintenance entertaining or quiet relaxation. Further benefits include off-road parking for one vehicle, securely positioned behind gated access, an increasingly rare feature for a property of this type and location. Set on the desirable Hereford Road in Southsea, Fintragh House is a truly distinctive Victorian home, offering history, elegance and modern living in equal measure. Properties of this calibre and provenance are seldom available and early viewing is strongly recommended.
