This quite outstanding period town house has been lovingly restored and renovated from a former Post Office by the current owners to now provide a stylish and comfortable home in the heart of Castle Road, Southsea. With spacious accommodation to suit a family, the property benefits from lush high walled garden bursting with tree ferns, palms, acers, ginkgo and with walls clothed in jasmine and climbing hydrangea. The overall effect is a peaceful oasis that belies the city location.
