Description

Enjoying a delightful and much sought-after location CLOSE TO THE SEAFRONT, this spacious ONE BEDROOM 3rd FLOOR RETIREMENT FLAT (minimum age for occupancy, 55 years) benefits from 21ft dual-aspect living room with balcony, lift service, secure entry, replacement double-glazing, communal garden and car park, and attractive outlook. Part of a varied and desirable Conservation Area, Eastern Villas Road runs in a crescent between Clarendon Road (at The Strand roundabout) and South Parade, a short, level stroll from the open beach and Seafront, and some half a mile only from Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct) - an exceptionally convenient, yet surprisingly quiet residential position with ready access to a wide range of public amenities. Set well back from the road behind its own garden and parking area, James Butcher Court is a five-storey residential development of just 17 apartments built in 1982, specifically for the needs of retired occupants. Available to the open market with the advantage of NO ONWARD CHAIN, Flat 14 itself affords generous accommodation as well as the bonus of a significant glimpse of The Solent and Isle of Wight from its living room and balcony. Its interior will reward refurbishment, this opportunity now being presented as an appealing "blank canvas" for an incoming owner to implement their own ideas and tastes, creating a home with much to commend it. Full details are given as follows:
