We are delighted to bring to market this charming three / four bedroom semi-detached property. In need of modernisation, this hidden gem offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking to create their ideal home whilst preserving the original elegance of a bygone era.

The property maintains its originality and is believed to have been designed by John Nash. Built around 1823, providing elegant and beautifully proportioned rooms with good ceiling heights. Retaining a wealth of period features across three storeys, the house brims with potential and awaits a visionary's touch to usher it into the modern age.

The interior accommodation includes three well-lit bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generously sized kitchen with a dining space, a larder and a utility area, and two separate reception rooms. Notable features include large windows flooding the rooms with natural light, characterful fireplaces, high ceilings, and access to a private garden from the second reception room. The master bedroom boasts a spacious layout and a unique chimney breast, adding to the charm of the property.

The location is equally impressive. Nestled within the sought-after Old Town, it is a short stroll from The Parade, Yacht Clubs, shops, restaurants, and the high-speed passenger ferry service to Southampton. The property is well-served by public transport links and nearby schools, and is surrounded by green spaces, parks, and walking routes. The quiet, peaceful setting is complemented by a strong local community, historical features, and stunning sea views.

The garden, one of the property's unique features, offers a tranquil space to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. Combined with the property's historical character and potential for modernisation, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history within a vibrant community. Whether you're looking for a project or a distinctive home with a story to tell, this property is an opportunity not to be missed.
