Flat for sale in Hartford House, Blount Road, Pembroke Park, Old Portsmouth PO1

A truly 1st-class opportunity and a case, we believe, of "find one better". This bright and spacious top (11th) floor two double bedroom apartment, on a select private estate, has been newly refurbished to A very high standard throughout (including equipped kitchen, luxury shower room, replacement interior doors, new carpets and blinds, and neutral decor). It boasts twin lift access, allocated car space, secure entry, individual gas fired central heating, replacement double-glazing and a sun balcony, whilst enjoying also the most delightful and fascinating panoramic views encompassing: The approaches to Portsmouth Harbour, The Solent, Isle of Wight, Portsdown Hill and The South Downs, and an array of city landmarks. 'Hartford House' is a prestigious and sought-after twelve-storey 1970s residential development set within the desirable Pembroke Park private estate which is bounded by Pembroke Road, Museum Road and Kings Terrace. This exceptionally convenient, yet tucked away position places a wide range of public amenities within a level walk of some three-quarters of mile only, including: The Seafront, Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct), Gunwharf Quays leisure and retail complex, mainline stations, various good schools, and the host of attractions provided by historic Old Portsmouth - many of which can be seen from the apartment itself.
