Clocktower Drive, Southsea

Situated within the historic former Royal Marines barracks, this beautifully presented lower ground floor apartment forms part of the highly sought-after and Grade II listed Teapot Row development on Clocktower Drive. The building forms an integral part of the historic parade ground complex which once served the Royal Marines, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy modern living within a setting rich in naval and military heritage. One of only a small number of apartments within Teapot Row to benefit from its own private south-facing courtyard garden, the property enjoys a wonderfully bright and secluded outdoor space. The courtyard is enclosed by attractive wrought iron railings and a gate, providing direct access onto the well-maintained communal grounds beyond. Internally, the accommodation is well planned and thoughtfully arranged. The spacious lounge overlooks the private courtyard garden, creating a light and relaxing living space. Double doors lead through to an integrated kitchen and dining room, fitted with modern appliances and offering an ideal area for both everyday living and entertaining. The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom has been cleverly designed with a built-in pull-down bed, together with a fitted desk and shelving, making it equally suited as a comfortable guest room or a practical home office. A contemporary shower room completes the internal accommodation. Further benefits include secure resident and visitor parking, a share of the freehold, together with the remainder of a 999-year lease, and access to the beautifully maintained communal grounds that surround this historic development. Teapot Row sits within the distinctive and characterful surroundings of the former Royal Marines estate, combining period architecture and historic significance with convenient access to Southsea's seafront and local amenities.
