This quite superb mansion apartment occupies the hall floor of an imposing Victorian building right in the heart of Southsea centre and offers an exquisite finish with high quality fittings, tasteful decor and a grand opulence throughout. The entire building underwent a professional renovation, completed in early 2017 including but not exclusively; a new slate roof, restoration of stone work and repointing of all brickwork, refurbished and where necessary, and new electrical, plumbing and fire alarm systems. The apartment itself has been tastefully restored with many period features retained or sympathetically replaced.
These features are complimented beautifully by more contemporary fittings including designer radiators, lacquered walnut engineered wood floors and high end kitchen and bathrooms. The internal accommodation comprises an entrance hall which gives way to a striking lounge/diner/kitchen space with a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and flooded with light through Velux windows. A master double bedroom with a period fire place and an en-suite shower room with high end Grohe fittings which gleams with polished porcelain. The main shower room is also equipped with Grohe fittings and the second bedroom is also a comfortable double. With a reasonable yearly service charge and ground rent this thoughtfully designed and wonderfully executed apartment is offered with no forward chain.
