Truly a case of "find another like it"! Standing directly opposite the Memorial Garden of Portsmouth Cathedral and available to the open market for the first time in twenty years, this highly individual TWO BEDROOM PERIOD PROPERTY is presented now as a fascinating BLANK CANVAS PROJECT holding immense potential for an incoming owner to create a home of character and charm. Parallel to the main High Street, St Thomas's Street runs between Oyster Street and Lombard Street, with "Peppercorn House" occupying a prime position overlooking the Romanesque 12th Century Cathedral of St Thomas. In the very heart of Old Portsmouth, the many attractions of this much sought-after and historic maritime enclave are close at hand, including: Spice Island and The Camber Dock, Gunwharf Quays leisure and retail complex, The Spinnaker Tower, National Museum of the Royal Navy, ancient city fortifications, Governors Green and Royal Garrison Church. Portsmouth and Southsea town centres are both less than one mile away and provide a combined comprehensive range of public amenities - schools, main-line stations, shops, etc. Dating from around 1700, Grade II Listed "Peppercorn House" forms part of a stylish and varied small group of period houses. Arranged over four floors, it features a rendered facade with splay bay window, all under a flat roof with open terrace. There is no garden as such. The property is IN NEED OF GENERAL MODERNISATION, offering much reward for a programme of refurbishment on the part of a buyer looking to implement their own tastes and ideas.
