PROPERTY SPOTLIGHT The Coach House in Sussex Road Southsea
THE COACH HOUSE
22 22a & 24 SUSSEX ROAD
SOUTHSEA
PUBLIC AUCTION GUIDE PRICE £750,000
This former Coach House is a unique opportunity in the heart of Southsea Town Centre and part of the ‘Owens Southsea’ Conservation Area. A Three Bedroom property with immense potential, The Coach House presents the ideal blank canvas for its future owner to implement their own style and tastes.
An Area of Local Historical Significance
The property could possibly have historic links to Thomas Ellis Owen's nearby St Vincent Lodge (1843). 24 Sussex Road is a former coach house comprehensively remodelled and renovated in the mid-1980s. This interesting history certainly lends to the uniqueness of the building.
‘Owen’s Southsea’ is the name given to the conservation area surrounding the Palmerston Road Shopping Centre. The area was designed principally by Thomas Ellis Owen who was known as ‘The Father of Southsea’. The combination of buildings, walls, trees, shrubs and road layout have given this area a distinctive picturesque character which makes a notable contribution to the character of Southsea as a whole.
Who was Thomas Ellis Owen?
Thomas Ellis Owen (1805-1862) is recognised as the architect, builder and developer who shaped the development of Southsea and built some of the finest buildings that still exist in the area today, such as St Jude's Church in Palmerston Road, Portland Terrace and Eastern Parade.
