Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY Cynical buyers who have heard it all before, may expect a house called 'Solent View' to only have glimpses of the water. However this property is fully deserving of its name. 'Solent View' is situated in Penny Street in the heart of maritime Old Portsmouth, within close proximity of Grand Parade, Nelson's monument, the historic Square and Round Towers and the Napoleonic fortified walls. There are terraced balconies on the first and the third floors with the whole of the roof area forming a terrace / garden. From the front there are outstanding panoramic views towards the Solent, Isle of Wight, Garrison Church and grounds towards Southsea. On the top floor the views are from three aspects where you can watch the ever changing seascape of one of the busiest nautical harbour entrances in the UK, with naval warships, cruise ships, yachting and ferries passing on a regular basis. 'Solent View' has been designed with the primary living rooms on the upper floors capitalising on the magnificent views. The versatile accommodation provides for modern living with a large family bathroom and en-suite facilities. Arranged over four floors the accommodation comprises; hallway, garden / family room, utility, cloakroom, integral garage to the ground floor, with 26' drawing room and kitchen / dining room on the first floor, with three bedrooms, the master having an en-suite shower room on the second floor and a further two bedrooms and family bathroom on the third floor, with the roof top terrace over. Each primary floor is accessed via an internal lift and there is a 40' rear enclosed garden. Early internal viewing of this unique family home is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
