2 bed flat for sale

Clarence Parade, Southsea, Hampshire PO5

Boasting over 1,200 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation alongside breathtaking panoramic sea views, this stylish and characterful waterfront apartment occupies on the top floor of the iconic Turret building on Clarence Parade.

Combining elegant period charm with generous living space and an abundance of natural light, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of Southsea’s most distinctive coastal homes.

Originally known as The Turret Hotel, this striking landmark building was designed by renowned Victorian architect A.E. Cogswell, celebrated locally for his distinctive architecture throughout Portsmouth. Positioned proudly on the corner overlooking Southsea Common, The Rose Gardens and the Solent, the building is considered a property of architectural interest and sits within a highly desirable conservation area.

Apartment 5 is beautifully arranged and flooded with natural light thanks to its prominent corner position and dual aspect outlooks. The standout feature is undoubtedly the impressive 28ft sitting/dining room with feature bay windows framing spectacular views across the waterfront and Southsea Common, creating an incredible space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The accommodation further comprises a fitted kitchen/dining room, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room, alongside a separate family bathroom. Additional benefits include double glazing, gas central heating, a security entry system and allocated parking.

This property will strongly appeal to professionals, downsizers, second-home buyers and anyone seeking an enviable coastal lifestyle within walking distance of Southsea’s independent restaurants, cafés and amenities, whilst enjoying some of the finest sea views the South Coast has to offer.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate both the apartment and its truly outstanding location.
