Bury Tower House is a beautiful renovated Georgian detached home lovingly restored to its original former glory, situated in the Portsmouth area of Hampshire being an ideal base for either sailing, a beach holiday with two local beaches or for exploring the Hampshire countryside. Short breaks as well as weekly and longer lets are welcome.
The property is named from a tower above the eaves of the house which, it is said, was used to observe shipping in the Solent in the late 18th century. Since that time more houses have been built which now limits the view, yet the unique room is a nice spot to take a book and read in peace above the rest of the house!
Bury Tower House comprises of two double bedrooms, three twin bedrooms, one family bedroom with a double & single bed, four bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. The family bedroom and shower room is located on the ground floor which has proved popular with our guests with limited mobility who can appreciate not having to go up and down the stairs!
As all the double bedrooms are very spacious, extra single beds can also be provided.
There is ample of off road parking at the rear of the property for up to 6 cars with room for a boat & trailer as well.
A number of Travel Cots are available as well as high chairs, and can easily be accommodated in the very spacious bedrooms. The travel cots are stored off site so as to not be in your way if you have no young children. We can easily accommodate 13 guests in the 6 double bedrooms, with plenty of room for extra single beds which can be provided on request.
The ground floor is bright and airy with oak flooring throughout with newly fitted carpets upstairs. There is a fully fitted modern kitchen that includes a Neff oven and a large 5 burner ceramic hob, a microwave, a dishwasher and a fridge/ freezer. There is an additional fridge freezer in the utility/laundry room which has a convenient door leading to the rear garden hence allowing both ease of laundry drying and the shedding of wet and dirty sports/sailing gear.
The dining room, the living room and the downstairs bedroom all have French doors leading out onto the large walled and secluded front and rears gardens, perfect to sit out on a summers evening.
The dining room has plenty of space to accommodate 12 people to dine in comfort at the large American oak dining table, with extra chairs available on request.
The sitting room has a period fireplace and three comfortable leather sofas and two large footstools, giving ample room to relax, watch TV, play games or just sit and chat and in the winter to enjoy the lovely real fire.
