House For Sale £760,000
Seldom is an address more apt. This truly splendid grade II listed 4 bedroom character family house is grand indeed. A combination of historic setting, delightful maritime views, wealth of features, enclosed courtyard, and roof terrace all contribute to present an exceptional and rare opportunity.
Grand Parade has been one of the area's largest open spaces since the town was founded, showing on maps since 1540. Immediately off the main High Street, it stands in the very heart of this historic and much desired maritime district, with ready access to its many attractions, including: Portsmouth Grammar School and St Judes Primary School, the Gunwharf Quays retail and leisure complex, Ben Ainslie's America's Cup team headquarters, Spice Island's cafe culture, and the vibrant artists' community of The Hot Walls. Nearby stations (London Waterloo 1.5 hours) provide good commuting links, whilst Portsmouth and Southsea town centres offer a wide range of public amenities, notably further good schools.
Recorded as early 19th century, but with evidence of older origins, No. 5 forms part of an interesting and varied terrace.
