'Teapot Row' is likely the most popular building within the exclusive conversion of the former Royal Marine Barracks. A Grade II listing building and a triumph of Victorian architecture, the grand elevations stand proudly overlooking manicured private grounds, directly over the busy channel of The Solent, making the location unparalleled for those with maritime interests. This top floor apartment enjoys breathtaking views over the Solent and the Isle of Wight in one direction, and far-reaching city views across the roof tops of Portsmouth towards Portsdown Hill in the other direction.
Recently renovated to an exceptionally high standard where the kitchen has been opened up into the lounge, with high-quality fittings including a fully-fitted Chippendale kitchen, Harvey Maria luxury flooring, and satin brass electrical and hardware throughout which is complimented by Farrow and Ball paint selections. The current owner has also invested in new sub-floor, wall and ceiling insulation, upgraded central heating and hot water system, as well as a centralised ventilation system to further improve the efficacy and efficiency of the original 1995 conversion. The accommodation comprises: a spacious living room linked via an opening into the fitted kitchen which has ample space for an island or dining table, a master bedroom that benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, a second double bedroom, a third single room or study which are both served by a contemporary shower room. Further benefits include a single garage with an electric door, power and lighting in addition to two allocated off road parking spaces within the grounds, a lift in the building and access to the manicured grounds of the estate.
