Of Georgian origin Battery House was completely renovated in 2007, to create a luxury house of 4 double bedrooms, 3 en-suite and a top floor living area with roof terrace, all rooms offering views of either Portsmouth Harbour entrance and The Solent or down the English Channel. Situated in Old Portsmouth, on the corner of Battery Row and Grand Parade, Battery house is located in an area steeped in maritime history. Admiral Lord Nelson (England’s most famous sea captain - whose ship hms Victory is located in the historic Portsmouth Dockyard) takes pride of place in the centre of Grand Parade. From the front windows the ruined Garrison church (where King Charles II married in 1662) can be seen along with Lord Nelson's statue.

Battery House is a four bedroom Townhouse built over four floors, three of the bedrooms all with en-suites, you benefit from open plan living and dining accommodation on the top floor, with a further floor for the roof terrace. There is an open plan kitchen area within the living accommodation. Extra accommodation included a study and large basement.

Frigates; aircraft carriers; submarines; ferries; cruise ships; container ships and yachts of all sizes regularly pass by the windows.
