2 bed Flat For Sale £380,000
Property summary This individual apartment is situated on the top floor of this highly recognised and desirable Grade II Listed building and we believe the building work started in approximately 1811 and was known originally as The Grand Store House before being renamed The Vulcan, the three wings of the building protrude towards the harbour entrance with a central arched opening and former parade ground. This unique apartment captures a great deal of the character of the original building with painted and exposed beams, sloping ceilings, the southerly facing feature (low level) arched window has views towards the harbour entrance over the manicured grounds, from the two bedrooms and bathroom there are views towards the Spinnaker Tower. Built within the Regency era, this former Royal Naval Armoury building was restored by Berkeley Homes in 2005 and No.41 is situated on the top floor, one of only two properties serviced by the lift and staircase on that level. Gunwharf Quays has proven to be a very popular location with a selection of bars, cafes, restaurants and designer outlet shops, leisure facilities as well as being within easy access to the Isle of Wight ferry terminal and the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The apartment has a communal entrance with video entry phone system, a lift service, an allocated parking space and is offered with no forward chain. Early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
