Tucked away from the bustle of Old Portsmouth's historic High Street, The Cottage is a charming home which we believe dates back to the 16th Century. The primary residence is arranged over two storeys although an impressive brick arched cellar with a flagstone floor spans the footprint of the property reaching 7'9 at it's highest point. Currently used for storage, the space could be suitable for conversion for a variety of uses, subject to relevant planning and building regulation approvals.
The property is approached by storm doors and a shared courtyard passageway which leads to the front door and an accommodation comprising: wood-panelled entrance hall with fitted shelving, a contemporary ground floor shower room, an impressive 22'10 x 12'5 kitchen/dining room leading to a cosy living room, both of which over look a generous paved garden with mature planting which is larger and more secluded than is generally found in the area, The first floor holds three comfortable bedrooms, and a bathroom, all with vaulted ceilings adding a sense of space and drama. Presented immaculately throughout, this period home must be viewed to be appreciated.
