Flat for sale in Solent Hill, Freshwater PO40

A characterful ground floor two/three bedroom apartment in this attractive historic building on the outskirts of Freshwater with sea and downland views.

This spacious apartment is one of just two apartments in this imposing detached property formerly part of the military infirmary complex that served the local coastal Solent protection Forts/Batterys in Victorian times. The property still retains some of its original features including tall ceilings, some original paneled doors, narrow strip pine flooring to parts, a decorative tiled entrance lobby floor and rounded corners to the original internal plasterwork. The accommodation comprises a generous sitting room leading through to a more recently constructed conservatory, which in turn leads out to its own area of private garden. In addition, there is a kitchen, spacious dining room/bedroom, as well as two further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room. A bathroom completes the accommodation. The windows have been replaced with sympathetic modern double glazed versions and a modern gas central heating system provides heating. Outside, there is off road parking to the front and private area of garden to one side which has been thoughtfully landscaped with a lower maintenance in mind, making this apartment ideally suited as a lock-up and leave.
