Wykeham Place
An exclusive luxury development of new homes
Following the closure of Wykeham House School, Altavia Homes was fortunate enough to obtain approval from the Charities Commission to acquire this much coveted Grade II listed site. Years of commercial use resulted in a hotchpotch of historic and modern elements, joined together by a carbuncle of an extension to the main listed house.
Altavia fought a hard battle to achieve a viable planning permission that returns Wykeham House to the detached status it deserves whilst being complemented by 9 substantial family townhouses due for occupation in summer 2019. The historic house will be restored to provide 6 wonderfully spacious and grand apartments whilst to the rear, the caretaker’s cottage will soon offer a wonderful bijou home. Secure allocated parking will sit alongside a beautifully landscaped garden to be enjoyed by all those fortunate enough to live in this one-off development.
Each of the 4 bedroom/4 storey townhouses will offer in excess of 2000sqft of high-quality living space complemented by 3 private terraces, a private garden to the rear and an oversized garage plus 2 off road parking spaces. Solid oak doors and flooring, oak staircases, fully integrated kitchens and very special fully tiled bathrooms, including master ensuite, are just a few of the many attributes that will appeal to a discerning buyer.
The townhouses will be due for occupation in Summer 2020 and the apartments from Spring 2021.

Happy Customers
The team here have been extremely accommodating and helpful to me. When there has been a problem a plumber or handy man has been sent straight out. If you are nice to people, cooperate and treat them how you wish to be treated, then it will be reciprocated. Thank you so much in finding me somewhere to live so quickly I really do appreciate it!
What an amazing team. Right from the very start they were all very helpful and professional. I was kept notified of viewings, feedback and offers very quickly. They also kept in touch with my solicitor so all in all I didn’t have to do a lot. Would definitely recommend their services.
Bernards in southsea provided an excellent service with frequent updates on the progress of the sale. Their service was friendly and efficient. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Bernards were very helpful in successfully finding us a new tenant for our house, they were extremely helpful in keeping us informed and advising us of the best options. I would strongly recommend using this company, makes renting less stressful for landlords like myself.
All the staff at Bernards are kind and professional and always go the extra mile to provide an excellent service. I would like particularly to thank Kieran for his amazing hard work, responding instantly to every problem thrown at him, even out of hours, to successfully coordinate the transaction and for his proactive and good humoured attitude. Thank you!
It’s not often you can say this about an estate agent, in fact up until now, never. Having dealt with very many over the years all of whom were incompetent, but not in the case of Bernards they gave us a 1st class service always returned phone calls, chased solicitors and purchaser to make sure things stayed on track, whilst there were delays this was not down Bernards. Keep up the good work.
I had Robbie Osborne from the Waterlooville Office assisting me with the letting of my flat. Robbie was highly professional but also very personable and really easy to deal with. He provided excellent customer service and a stress free service, unlike the other estate agents I have had this misfortune to deal with in the past. I would highly recommend Robbie to anyone looking to let out their property.
Absolutely amazing service. In the last few weeks I really thought that the sale, would fall through, and I honestly believe that without Bernards input that perhaps it may not have happened. I highly recommend Bernards – they are very friendly and professional. Thank you
