Flat for sale in Queens Crescent, Southsea, Hampshire PO5

Enjoying a prime town centre location, and within a highly regarded retirement development, this spacious two double bedroom second floor apartment benefits from excellent shared amenities and is very keenly priced to reflect the need for an element of refurbishment. Constructed around 1997 by the well-known specialist company McCarthy Stone, 'Holmbush Court' is a four-storey complex of 97 apartments tailored specifically to the needs of retired persons - the minimum age for occupying being 60 years. The building occupies a prominent position at the junction of Queens Crescent with Grove Road South, a level walk of some 200 yards only from Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct and within comfortable reach of the wide-ranging public amenities provided by Central Southsea, The Seafront and historic Old Portsmouth. Facilities both communal and individual, are extensive and include: Delightful garden with seating, car parking, residents' lounge, laundry room, guest suite, lift service, double-glazing, electric heating, and secure entry. Flat 69 itself, positioned close to the lift and on the building's Grove Road South (east) elevation, retains its original fittings in the main, thus now rewarding up-dating.
