Flat for sale in Governors Walk, Portsmouth PO3

Two bedroom apartment with allocated parking

hmp Kingston was built in 1877 and has had a varied history. In 1965 capital punishment for murder was abolished and Kingston began exclusively holding inmates serving life sentences. Kingston Prison became the only prison in England and Wales to have a unit exclusively for elderly male prisoners serving life sentences.

The prison has held many well known inmates, but hmp Kingston would close on 28th March 2013.

The site was acquired by renowned developers St Cross Homes and the conversion to residential homes is now complete. The main prison building and gatehouse has been transformed into 83 beautiful apartments, ranging from one to three bedrooms, all with an allocated parking space.

St Cross Homes’ unwavering eye for detail means that only premium materials, fittings and appliances are selected to ensure the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication.

Conveyancing

Choosing the right conveyancing solicitor is extremely important to ensure that you obtain an effective yet cost-efficient solution. The lure of supposedly cheaper on-line "conveyancing warehouse" style services can be very difficult to ignore but this is a route fraught with problems that we strongly urge you to avoid. A local, established and experienced conveyance will safeguard your interests and get the job done in a timely manner. Bernards can recommend several local firms of solicitors who have the necessary local knowledge and will provide a personable service. Please ask a member of our sales team for further details.
