Description
Within a striking and very stylish Grade II Listed period terrace, and just moments from The Seafront and Southsea Town Centre, this well-presented ONE BEDROOM BASEMENT APARTMENT benefits from electric heating, equipped kitchen, secure entry, RESIDENTS' PARKING, and the considerable asset of a 36ft PRIVATE GARDEN. Approached via Osborne Road and Clifton Road (also, by foot, from Clarence Parade), Clifton Terrace is a desirable cul-de-sac address less than 500 yards from Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct), exceptionally well placed for ready access to a wide range of public amenities, including: Seafront leisure and recreation facilities, local shops and eateries, schools, University campus, main-line stations, and the many attractions of historic Old Portsmouth. The work of Henry Gauntlett, a contemporary of the renowned Thomas Ellis Owen, Clifton Terrace is a group of just six properties built in the Regency manner around 1856. No. 2, now comprising five apartments, features a stucco facade, with first floor balcony, under a pitched roof with parapet. Flat 1 itself enjoys sole use of the building's rear garden, a generous 36ft in length, and, with the further advantage of NO ONWARD CHAIN, presents an appealing and unusual opportunity.
