The Duke of Buckingham Pub and Hotel is a landmark property. Located on the High Street in Old Portsmouth it is close to the City Cathedral, Square Tower and Hot Walls with Southsea seafront and Gunwharf Quays a short distance beyond. Previously a popular and well known establishment for many years before more recently becoming an Italian restaurant. The building offers 14 guest bedrooms spread over three floors.
The property would be ideally suited to continued use as a pub/restaurant with hotel rooms in a popular tourist area of the City. Alternatively the building offers scope to be redeveloped into residential accommodation and planning consent is in place for conversion if required.
Planning Permission
Conditional Planning Permission was granted by Portsmouth City Council under 24/01085/ful, we understand from our client that the nitrates contribution has been settled and full consent will be granted imminently. A copy of the consent will be available in the legal pack, once it is received. The consent is for conversion of existing hotel and restaurant to form eight apartments (Class C3) to include construction of rear extensions at ground, first, and second floor, with refuse and cycle storage and other associated works (Updated drawings received), subject to conditions.
