Terraced house for sale in 15 Pembroke Road, Old Portsmouth, Hampshire PO1

Find another like it! This deceptively spacious, well-appointed, and extended four bedroom (including two guest suites) gem of a town house boasts one of the area's very best locations, commanding truly stunning southerly views towards Governors Green, 13th Century Garrison Church, and The Solent beyond. Pembroke Road links West Southsea to Old Portsmouth's main thoroughfare, High Street - an enviable address just a short walk from the many attractions of this historic maritime district (including Portsmouth Grammar School and St Judes C of E Primary School), also less than one mile from both Portsmouth and Southsea town centres with their combined wide-ranging amenities. Standing opposite the open space of Governors Green, No. 15 dates from around 1958, its name, Gunmakers, reflecting an earlier building on the site. It is flanked by exalted neighbours - The Deanery on one side, the former Royal Naval Club on the other. There is a charming and, for the area, quite generous enclosed courtyard to the rear of the house whilst its Upper Lounge and Sun Room enjoy to the fullest the location's greatest asset - fascinating and ever-changing panoramic views across the green towards Garrison Church (c. 1212), and beyond towards the approaches to Portsmouth Harbour, The Solent, and The Isle of Wight. The rarity and desirability here cannot be overstated. The discerning buyer is offered an opportunity to acquire an individual house of genuine quality and distinction. Full details are as follows:
