Old Portsmouth, Hampshire

PROPERTY SUMMARY An individually architect designed mews townhouse which was built in 2001 in an area known as Spice Island in the heart of the maritime Old Portsmouth and within close proximity of Bath Square, The Point, Round Tower and the Napoleonic fortified walls. This individual property has outstanding views over looking the harbour entrance which is one of the busiest nautical entrances in the UK with naval warships, cruise ships, yachts and ferries passing on a regular basis. Spice Island has a large percentage of Grade II Listed properties and dates back to the medieval times, however Island View House is not only uniquely located but is one of very few properties in the location with a good sized rear garden, first floor balcony and a roof terrace. The property was designed to provide 1707 sq ft of living space arranged over four floors, the top floor having a large terrace and crescent shaped room suitable for an occasional bedroom with an en-suite shower room, on the floor below are two double bedrooms, the primary one with an en-suite shower room and separate feature bathroom. On the first floor is an L shaped sitting room incorporating dining and study areas and feature bay window, a kitchen and a balcony: on the ground floor is a utility room, integral garage, cloakroom and bedroom 4/study.
The current owners have lived there since 2012 and have carried out extensive changes and updates during their ownership to include oak wooden flooring throughout, double glazing, an enclosed rear garden, first floor balcony and having recently been redecorated both internally and externally. Early viewing of this individual modern home is strongly recommended in order to appreciate the location and accommodation on offer.
