Platform Road, Southampton, SO14

Built in the early 1900s, Admiralty House originally served as the post office and telegraph office for Southampton and is intrinsically linked with the city's maritime history.  Thoughtfully  converted in c1999 the apartments combine Edwardian grandeur of a Grade II building with contemporary living.

The opportunity to own a part of this historic building has now arisen with this fabulous two bedroom apartment coming to the market.  The apartment was originally the owner's residence and then was successfully rented out for a number of years.  There is also the added benefit of owning a share of the freehold.

Located on the second floor and to the front of the building, access is via a grand staircase spiraling up from the communal foyer. The accommodation is well laid out with a good mix of period features and modern conveniences.  High ceilings enhance the feeling of space and the large sash windows fill the rooms with light.  Look forward to relaxing after a hard day's work in the open plan living/dining room or equally entertain family & friends in style.  The separate kitchen is well laid out with good cupboard and worktop space plus fitted appliances - the perfect place to test your culinary skills or just rustle up a quick snack.  Two large double bedrooms provide a blank canvas where you can create your own haven from the hustle & bustle of life. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom with white suite & shower over bath arrangement.

Within walking distance are the shops, restaurants & bars of Ocean Village and Oxford Street with the city centre easily accessed via car, foot or public transport.  There is a small public park closeby to enjoy plus also the marinas at Ocean Village.
