Wonderful town house located in the very heart of Old Portsmouth, opposite Portsmouth Cathedral, Oyster Street is the perfect, quiet, yet ideally central location, just a stones throw from the harbour entrance and the Round Tower and with exceptional views to the Isle of Wight and the Solent.
Set over three floors, this is a wonderful and rarely available town house with stunning views of the Cathedral to the front, the harbour entrance at the rear and the Spinnaker Tower. On entering the property there is a good-sized living and dining room, at the rear is a ground floor WC and galley kitchen with patio door leading to the rear paved garden. There is a full-size garage with space for a large 4x4 or estate car and to comfortably move around. There are open tread wooden stairs up to the first floor which has 2 large rooms, the one facing the Cathedral was originally the living room but we put a temporary stud wall there 4 years ago to make a 4th bedroom, however this can be removed and then it will become open plan again. There is a double bedroom to the rear and open tread stairs up to the 2nd floor. The master bedroom is at the front of the house with a view of the Cathedral and its beautifully manicured grounds, at the rear is a modern newly fitted bathroom with shower over bath and combined sink and WC unit in grey. Finally, there is a 4th single bedroom or study with stairs leading up to the amazing roof terrace.
The roof terrace covers the entire length and width of the house and on the left side has a 2.5metre wall from the next-door flats providing privacy and shelter and with 1 metre walls on the other 3 side they provide a beautiful private sun deck area, ideal for BBQs or just soaking up the views and the sun. The roof terrace has external lights, power and artificial grass, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining. The views from the roof are incredible, to the rear is a clear view of the Solent and the approaches to Portsmouth Harbour, then towards Spinnaker tower and all the way around to the Cathedral at the front of the house.
The house has potential to extend, should new owners wish to do so, being relatively straight forward to build a ground floor extension to make a larger open plan kitchen and dining room, with a balcony on it‘s roof with double patio doors leading out from the 1st floor rear bedroom, similar to others on the street, all STPP.
Location; the house is just 75 mtrs from the beach at the historic Hot Walls and the Round Tower of Old Portsmouth and within walking distance of Southsea or the traditional old pubs and restaurants including the Still and West, Spice Island and the Sally Port and yet still only a 10-minute walk to Gunwharf Keys with its outstanding shops, bars and restaurants. There is also easy access to Portsmouth Harbour train station which provides commutable links to LONDON, ferry ports to France and, Isle of Wight and regular bus links nearby.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
