Portsmouth Road, Woolston, SO19

Situated within a period dwelling, full of original character and charm, is this unique two bedroom first floor flat. The dwelling where the home resides is believed to have been built during the latter half of the 19th century with distinctive architectural features such as rusticated quoins, pediments and an original entrance porch with classical porticos. Occupying one of the best positions in the block, this double fronted property oozes with kerb appeal with four bay windows, two decorative gables and a low level brick wall border with mature shrub borders; and like all 19th century homes, it's reputed for having been designed and built using high-quality materials to be spacious and comfortable with a heightened sense of space and light. Inside, the centre piece of this home is the open-plan living area which consists of an elegant sitting room with a feature bay window and a modern kitchen breakfast room which has been designed with modern white gloss units, four ring gas hob, extended breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances. Further in, there are two good sized bedrooms including a spacious master bedroom suite which extends to 14'5' foot with a feature bay window, original style fireplace and a modern en-suite shower room. Completing this wonderful home is an airy entrance hall and an additional bonus of a further shower room which has been upgraded to a modern style with a heated towel rail and fully tiled walk-in shower. Other benefits of this home include: full double glazing, gas central heating and reasonable maintenance charges making this flat an ideal starter home.

Outside Externally there is an added bonus of allocated parking. There is a shared amenity which consists of a 'drying area', cycle storage and small area of lawn with hedge, shrub borders and trees which add a natural element to the hard landscape. To the front the plot has been beautifully landscaped with tarmac and selection of shrub borders providing an attractive green frontage to the building with sweeping driveway to the side which provides side vehicular access to the parking area at rear.
