Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY There are very few gated communities within the City of Portsmouth and Blount Road sits on the former Garrison Barracks site and benefits from the surrounding mature trees and bushes as well as being a gated and fenced estate. Within the estate are a number of houses, however No.21 benefits from what we understand to be the largest townhouse garden (other of course than the townhouses with the communal gardens). The garden wraps around the house with a westerly aspect, providing a sense of countryside within the city. The accommodation which provides 1760 sq ft of living space is arranged over three floors and comprises; porch, hallway, cloakroom, utility room, sun lounge and integral garage on the ground floor, a large drawing room with twin doors opening onto the dining room, a fitted Poggenpohl kitchen and study/potential bedroom four on the first floor with three further bedrooms, the master having an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom on the top floor. Offered with double glazing, gas fired central heating, no forward chain yet being within easy access of local shopping amenities, the Victorian waterfront, historic Old Portsmouth as well as Gunwharf Quays and commutable road and rails links, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
