Welcome to the South Gatehouse at Royal Clarence Marina!
Situated overlooking Flagstaff Green, one of Gosport's most historic and beautiful spaces; bordering its iconic Ceremonial Gate and overlooking the landscaped pond and fountain to Harbour Views beyond. With Its own private front door, Grade Two listed frontage and carefully restored modern interiors (originally by Berkeley Homes) this is a home to catch your eye.
The South Gatehouse interiors are equally bright and fresh, lit by the many tall period windows.
Heating by modern zoned underfloor system as well as a charming classic cream wood burning stove ensures a cosy ambience throughout.
Other striking features of the home include the generously spacious open plan kitchen with its attractive peninsula shape ideal for entertaining friends & family.
This overlooks the seating area perfect for relaxing before the wood stove framed as it is in an eye-catching original brick chimney surround.
All is set in warm wood flooring and with high ceilings befitting the period feel of this unique house.
The tastefully finished kitchen has fitted modern appliances, including a new oven, while the undercounter fridge and dishwasher are fully integrated.
Secluded in the separate hallway between kitchen area and bedroom is a full height spacious cupboard where you will find the washer dryer, boiler and other controls.
The next room in this bright enclosed corridor comprises of a tasteful modern bathroom suite with an overhead shower, full bath, matching vanity unit and storage cupboard; all lit by its own electric roof window.
At the end of this internal hallway is the entrance to the master bedroom which is again characteristically spacious in size and feels wonderfully bright and airy thanks both to the windows and the striking high ceilings. There is a TV point here also.
Leading out from the main living area of this house and going out the back door, one is in an enclosed, private courtyard garden, laid with flagstone flooring. This is ideal for those sunny days or for creating a space for plants and flowers in your own courtyard garden. The well-built integrated brick built shed ( matching roof and solid wood door) lies at one end and has ample storage for bikes, lifejackets, boat bits or other paraphernalia. There is an outside tap for convenience.
Ownership of South Gatehouse includes Resident Parking, and visitor permits are available.
The South Gatehouse is a beautifully presented property and is ready to be your flagship base near the sea!
Royal Clarence Marina is a picturesque waterfront marina, part of Historic Portsmouth Harbour and makes a perfect base for exploring the Solent, Isle of Wight, Gunwharf Quays or Hampshire in general. Great transport links include local bus routes, wonderful scenic ferries not just to Gunwharf Quays, the Isle of Wight (in the footsteps of Queen Victoria who loved to leave from this very area) but to France and the Continent, as well as excellent train services from the main station at Gunwharf (to London, Gatwick etc)
We anticipate strong early interest and we would recommend a viewing at your earliest convenience.
