Designed by the owner who works as a professional interior designer, the vibe of this home merges contemporary comforts with quirky vintage kitsch, inviting guests into a unique space that escapes the mundane. The maximalist aesthetic retains many ornate Victorian features, while the home's furnishings carefully combine bold colours with rich textures. From the ruby red velvet couches to the olive green walls of the kitchen and dining space – this home presents bags of character inspired by the laid-back bohemian surroundings of the locale in Southsea. Enjoy quiet moments outside on the stoned patio terrace garden – the outdoor seating provides the perfect setting for a warm cup of tea after a seaside walk over to Southsea Common, only a nine-minute stroll away. Positioned just one mile away from Gunwharf Quays and its outlet shopping, an abundance of shops, eateries and the cinema – there's plenty to keep you occupied when staying in this part of Portsmouth. After a day of shopping or relaxing on the beach, complete your quintessential British seaside experience by picking up some fresh fish and chips to serve up at the dining table, or if the weather is being kind – at the alfresco dining...

About Portsmouth
