Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY An excellent opportunity to purchase a rather unique 'New York' warehouse style split level penthouse apartment, which is located set back from the Victorian promenade yet with outstanding views over Canoe Lake towards the Solent.

Being located within a short stroll from the Victorian historic waterfront, Canoe Lake and having the local shopping facilities on Albert Road nearby, yet within easy reach of the central part of Southsea, Gunwharf Quays and commutable road and rail links, this is truly an apartment, one up from the rest. Offered with gas fired central heating, double glazing, off road car parking for one car, floor coverings throughout and no forward chain, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
