3 bed Flat For Sale £800,000
Built in 1910 and situated in an idyllic seafront setting, this immaculate apartment forms part of Mountbatten, an imposing Edwardian detached residence, occupied by Lord George Mountbatten as his principal residence, from which he could enjoy exceptional views to sea and across the former Naval parade ground (now a miniature golf course). The building was one of the first on Eastern Parade and was sympathetically converted into five luxury apartments in 2017, retaining the beautiful features of the period with high ceilings, decorative deep coving and skirting boards to maintain an air of elegance whilst also benefiting from the conveniences of modern living.
Apartment 2 occupies an enviable position on the first floor with an exceptional outlook towards the Solent, Napoleonic Forts and the Isle of Wight from the front, in particular from the balcony and large double-glazed bay window in the sitting room and master bedroom. The stunning interiors seamlessly blend modern décor with stunning original features. Oak parquet flooring adds a touch of luxury in the primary rooms and complements the statement tiled entrance hall and plush carpeting in the remaining rooms.
Accessed via a private entrance, the generous accommodation stretches to 1676 sq ft and features a south-facing balcony overlooking the sea. The 23ft sitting room is a particular highlight, enjoying a high ceiling with cornicing, a contemporary fireplace and a large bay window with sea views. The high specification kitchen is also notable with a dual aspect, central island, door to the balcony and a feature turret window with built-in seating, making a perfect space for dining. The property also benefits from underfloor heating and electric blinds in the main bedroom.
The accommodation is entered via a grand private entrance with an internal staircase leading to an inviting entrance hall, providing access to the elegant sitting room and kitchen at the front of the property. The kitchen boasts a range of integrated AEG appliances, including a fan oven, combination microwave, oven and grill, a ceramic induction hob with extractor fan, dishwasher, washing machine/tumble dryer, and an American-style fridge/freezer with cold water and ice dispenser. There is also a water softener and a separate wine fridge set into the central island.
The 20ft principal bedroom is located across the hall from the kitchen, featuring a dual aspect and a stylishly appointed en suite shower room. There is a high specification family bathroom along with two further bedrooms at the rear of the property, one of which has two built-in cupboards housing the underfloor heating manifold, pump system, hot water cylinder and a recently serviced wall-mounted boiler controlled via the Hive app, which supplies domestic hot water and central heating.
Outside
Remote controlled gates lead to a large walled turning and parking area, with allocated parking for each of the five apartments, a discreet bin storage area, bicycle storage and well-maintained landscaped borders. Steps lead up to the apartment’s private front door.
Situation
The impressive building is situated in a sought-after location just moments from the beach. The rose gardens, Japanese garden, canoe lake, several cafes and a mini golf course are also close by, along with the promenade and south parade pier. The local area is steeped in history, with attractions such as the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Nelson’s hms Victory, the Mary Rose Museum, d-Day Story, Southsea Castle and Old Portsmouth providing excellent options for a family day out. Central Portsmouth with its high street shops, superstores and fabulous Gunwharf Quays Shopping Outlet is approximately 3.5 miles and the city is well-served by highly regarded schools. Fratton and Portsmouth and Southsea mainline train stations have services to London Waterloo (approx. 90 minutes) as well as Southampton and Cardiff. The A3 provides access to the M275 and motorway network. The Isle of Wight is also easily accessible from ferry and Hovercraft terminals, both within 3 miles of the property.
