A rare opportunity to acquire one of Southsea's most historic homes, this charming Grade II listed end-of-terrace cottage forms part of the renowned Dock Mill Cottages, built in the early 19th century to house workers employed at the impressive Dock Mill. Constructed by a pioneering co-operative established by Portsmouth Dockyard workers, the cottages stand today as one of the city's oldest surviving residential terraces and provide a wonderful link to Southsea's rich maritime and industrial heritage.
Occupying a generous corner position, the property enjoys an unusually large, high-walled rear garden, predominantly laid to shingle for ease of maintenance with mature planting creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. Behind its attractive period façade, characterised by elegant sash windows and a charming square bay, the accommodation is full of character. The spacious lounge/dining room features parquet flooring, a traditional brick fireplace and a bright bay window overlooking the garden. The separate kitchen offers ample space for a breakfast table and enjoys direct access to the garden, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The first floor comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, together with a family bathroom. Offered to the market with no forward chain, this is a unique opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Portsmouth's history, combining period charm, generous outside space and an enviable central Southsea location.
