Freestone Road, Southsea, PO5

Enjoying a delightful and much prized backwater location in the very HEART OF SOUTHSEA TOWN CENTRE, this unique and charming DETACHED THREE BEDROOM FORMER COACH HOUSE benefits from a  cobbled courtyard, attached garage plus off-street parking, roof terrace, replacement double-glazing, and gas central heating. A genuine "one of a kind".  Part of an historic Conservation Area (Owen's Southsea) Freestone Road winds between Lennox Road North (opposite its junction with Stanley Street) and Victoria Road South, a level walk of just a few minutes from both Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct and The Common & Seafront. This exceptionally convenient, yet tucked away residential address places a wide range of public amenities within a radius of some one mile only, including:  local shops, various good schools, main-line stations, recreation facilities, and the many attractions of maritime Old Portsmouth. No. 4  itself is a striking and individual Victorian character property, the attractive design featuring brick and shiplap-boarded elevations with enclosed entrance lobby, gabled dormer and generous roof terrace, all under a pitched slate roof. To the side is a cobbled courtyard affording off-street parking in front of the attached garage. Truly a case of "find another", this opportunity will appeal to a variety of potential new owners.
