Prime seafront location with delightful outlook across southsea common for this purpose-built two bedroom first floor apartment having lift service, secure entry, wide sun balcony, double-glazing, and non-allocated residents' parking; keenly priced to reflect the need for general modernisation. St Martins House is a sought-after ten-storey residential development, circa 1960, occupying a prominent position directly opposite The Ladies Mile and Common, close to the junction of Clarence Parade with Lennox Road South, a level walk of less than 500 yards from Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct) - an exceptionally convenient Conservation Area address within comfortable reach of a wide range of public amenities. With the noteworthy exceptions of replacement double-glazing and a modern shower, the apartment's specification is somewhat dated and in parts original. It presents now as an appealing blank canvas opportunity for an incoming owner to implement their own ideas and tastes and to create a home with much to commend it. Available now with the further asset of no onward chain, full details are as follows and early enquiry is urged:
