About this home

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a historic residence in Old Portsmouth. Vernon House, we believe was constructed circa 1850 which was previously known as Cambridge House. The current owner has informed us that the property was office quarters opposite the Grammar school which was known as The Cambridge Barracks which has been converted to the Portsmouth Grammar School. Step forward to the present time and the building has been converted into three luxurious homes.

The four bedroom duplex apartment is situated on the ground floor and lower ground level with a private courtyard garden and off road parking to the rear. On entering the property via its own private entrance, the main reception is grand in stature with large concertina doors separating the room from the hallway and features a gas fireplace as the main focal point. The kitchen has a traditional feel with a Belfast style sink, shaker style wall and base units offering plenty of storage, built in double oven and gas hob and space for a breakfast table. The utility room leads to the ground floor cloakroom and access to the private courtyard. There is a spiral staircase leading to the lower floor and comprises the four well proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is a spacious double with a separate dressing area and en suite shower room for added convenience for the home owner. A further three bedrooms are generous in size with a separate study, family bathroom with walk in shower and secret room.

In conclusion, the residence boasts a plethora of character features, seamlessly blending modern conveniences with traditional charm and being within easy reach of Portsmouth Harbour Train Station making access in and out the city a breeze. Set within the much sought after location of Old Portsmouth, coastal walks and local pubs and restaurants with a traditional feel add to the appeal of this stunning property.

The property is being sold with no forward chain and a share of freehold.
