Old Portsmouth, Hampshire

PROPERTY SUMMARY This impressive townhouse has many features, it stands tall like a Sentry Guard overlooking the oldest conservation area of the city and the Napoleonic sea defences, towards the Solent and Isle of Wight beyond. The property has been improved by the current owners with a number of adaptions to include rearranging the accommodation to form four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an extensive first floor living room incorporating dining area, kitchen and rear balcony. On the ground floor is a garage, cloakroom and separate utility room, on the top floor is what could be arranged as a bedroom, but is more suited to take your breath away and use as second living room/viewing room with its own balcony. The accommodation is arranged over four floors and provides 1597 sq ft of living space and behind the property is access to the integral garage and a car parking space, a further benefit is the secure boat mooring in the adjacent Camber Dock, a great position / location to get to the harbour entrance in a matter of a few minutes before heading off into the Solent, a feature rarely found in modern townhouses. The property is offered with gas fired central heating, double glazing, a courtyard rear garden and first floor rear balcony as well as the primary balcony being front facing with a south-westerly aspect. No.22 is situated within close proximity of the harbour entrance, the Hot Walls Studios, local restaurants, public houses, the highly regarded Grammar School and St. Jude's Primary School as well as the Camber Dock, Sailing Club and being within a few minutes' walk of Gunwharf Quays retail and entertainment area as well as the mainline railway station at Portsmouth Harbour with direct links to London Waterloo, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
