Enjoying a prime location just off The Seafront, within sight of Canoe Lake, this attractively presented and unusually spacious THREE BEDROOM SECOND FLOOR APARTMENT has been well maintained and is freshly decorated. It benefits from a private garage, lift service, communal central heating, double-glazing, secure entry, 21ft (6.4m) sun balcony, and truly splendid outlook. As one of the area's most sought-after and prestigious residential addresses, Craneswater Park lies immediately off St Helens Parade - moments only from The Seafront and open beach; a level walk of some 3/4 mile only from Southsea Town Centre (Palmerston Road Shopping Precinct); very conveniently placed for ready access to a wide range of public amenities. Built in 1972, "Charminster" is a superior and stylish six-storey development standing well back from the road behind its own lawn and tree-planted garden forecourt. With bright, triple aspect, Flat 5 itself is positioned upon the building's favoured southern corner, windows to the east and west offering glorious sunrise and sunset events, whilst the generous sun balcony, in particular, grants delightful and wide-ranging views towards Canoe Lake, surrounding parks, and The Solent beyond. Available now with the further asset of NO ONWARD CHAIN, this desirable opportunity will appeal to discerning buyers. Full details are given as follows and early enquiry is urged:
