The land has an interesting history which can be traced back to 1796, we
understand that the property was built in approximately 1868 and originally
occupied by a Royal Naval Lieutenant, in 1930 it was divided into two separate
living spaces before being restored into a single dwelling and renovated
throughout in 2006 by the current owners. Brandon Road is centrally located
within easy access of the Southsea Victorian waterfront, highly regarded
schools, recreation grounds and shopping amenities. The area was known as The
Great Morass which consisted of uninhabitable marshland which was successfully
drained in 1830 to create Southsea Common and land for large Victorian villas,
it was named after William Brandon, the former Mayor in 1868. Having a number
of special features including floor to ceiling bay windows, central
fireplaces, an enclosed low maintenance walled garden to the rear, as well as
a front garden and off - road parking, early internal viewing is of this
impressive Victorian villa is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both
