We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Portchester House is a stunning Grade II listed Georgian residence seamlessly blending historic charm with modern luxury nestled in the picturesque village of Portchester just a few hundred meters from the foreshore.
Leased by the government in 1756 as a temporary hospital and latterly occupied by renowned water colour artist Emily Farmer in the 19th century, this exquisite home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history located next to the former Royal Palace of Portchester Castle.
Boasting some unique 'Venetian Sash Windows' to the front elevations and extensive harbour views from the upper floors, the house occupies mature, secluded grounds including a formal southerly facing lawned garden and separate orchard along with an adjoining one-acre paddock with extensive parking.
At over 6,000 sq.ft, the accommodation spanning three floors features an impressive welcoming reception hall framed with Doric Pillars, wooden paneling and flagstone flooring leading to four fine reception rooms including a living room perfect for those cosy nights in, spacious dining room host to many intimate suppers over the centuries, sitting room with views towards the 11th Century Keep of the Castle and a 24ft family room; the ideal space to unwind in a less formal environment.
The 19ft x 15ft kitchen/breakfast room boasts an expensive range of contemporary units with granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and access to the pantry.
On the First Floor there are five double bedrooms two with en-suite dressing areas and shower rooms together with an additional en-suite shower room, family bathroom and cloakroom.
On the top floor will find two further bedrooms, bathroom and an open plan living room/kitchen/diner providing the opportunity for Annex or extended family accommodation.
There is also a useful basement area.
Externally, the lawned garden with its rose arboretum is well screened by mature trees and hedgerows which lead through the living arch to the separate orchard with gated access and planning consent for a detached garage and boat house (planning ref: P/24/0141/FP).
Across the lane is a gated and graveled parking area for a number of cars plus access to the paddock while a single garage will be found to the side of the house.
Viewing of this once in a lifetime opportunity is essential to fully appreciate the location, views, accommodation and grounds on offer.
