Offered chain-free, with the option to purchase fully furnished, this property is ideal for discerning buyers seeking a primary residence, luxury pied-à-terre, or refined weekend retreat.

Historic Setting with Seamless Modern Connections

Galleon Place forms part of Royal Clarence Marina, a highly sought-after waterfront development with deep historic roots, dating back to its naval origins. The development, completed in 2005, enjoys a privileged position beside the Solent, offering a unique combination of heritage charm and contemporary lifestyle. Just moments from the apartment, residents can enjoy well-regarded local establishments such as Arty’s Wine Bar, The Boathouse Café, and Bakers Bar & Kitchen, creating a warm and sociable atmosphere year-round. The Gosport Ferry is a short 15-minute walk away, offering quick access to Portsmouth Harbour, Gunwharf Quays and direct train links to London Waterloo in under two hours. By car, the M275 and M27 provide swift connections to the South Coast, the A3 and M3 corridors, and London. For sailing enthusiasts, the marina itself offers 145 berths, year-round access, and close proximity to the Gosport Cruising Club.

Stylish Interiors and Expansive Living Space

Upon entering via a secure key fob entry and lift-serviced communal hallway, you arrive at number 64 – a penthouse that immediately impresses. The generous horseshoe-shaped entrance hall features quality Karndean flooring, three substantial storage cupboards, one housing the pressurised Megaflo system and another equipped as a full utility area, complete with water softener. Every detail has been considered, including chrome-finished ceiling downlighters, wall-mounted thermostat, and smart beech interior doors. The heart of the home lies in the vast open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, which opens directly onto the private terrace through floor-to-ceiling glazed doors.

The kitchen has been beautifully upgraded in a timeless Shaker style with Corian worktops, integrated Neff appliances including twin ovens, induction hob, slide-and-hide microwave/grill, and dishwasher. The kitchen also features a stylish pop-up power station, twin drinks chillers, and cleverly integrated storage throughout. A breakfast bar offers casual seating, while a Karndean-finished dining area separates seamlessly from the carpeted living room – all set beneath chrome-finish downlighters. A full air-conditioning system ensures year-round comfort, with supplementary programmable electric heating.

The principal bedroom is a sanctuary of calm, boasting dual-aspect windows with uninterrupted water views, integrated wardrobes, window seat with built-in shoe storage, and its own air conditioning unit. The en-suite is presented as a wet room with non-slip floor, chrome shower suite, vanity basin, mirror cabinet with lighting and a concealed-cistern WC. Bedroom two, equally well-appointed, benefits from dual-aspect views, fitted wardrobes and patio access, making it ideal for guests or a luxury home office. The main bathroom echoes the same high standard, with coordinated tiling, chrome fittings and a fitted bath with overhead shower.

A Private Terrace with Mesmerising Views

Undoubtedly one of the most striking features of this home is the spectacular outdoor space. The private terrace spans over 36 feet, enclosed by sleek glass and chrome balustrades, and finished in stylish paving with integrated floor-level lighting. Accessed via two sets of sliding tilt-and-glide patio doors, this space is ideal for morning coffees, alfresco dining, or evening drinks while enjoying the peaceful soundscape of gently tapping masts and the distant hum of activity across the harbour. From this vantage point, take in a commanding view of HMS Warrior, the Spinnaker Tower, and the dramatic outline of the South Downs – a constantly shifting waterside panorama. The terrace also houses two LG climate control units, discreetly positioned for functionality without compromising the aesthetics of this tranquil outdoor space.

This is a rare and exceptional offering within one of the South Coast’s most desirable waterside addresses. Number 64 Galleon Place combines sophisticated interior styling, luxurious fixtures, high-end appliances and the kind of panoramic view that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
