"Modern and spacious three storey townhouse, situated within the sought after Old Portsmouth Conservation Area, being local to excellent schools including Portsmouth Grammar whilst being within a stone's through of the Camber, Gunwharf Quays, Spice Island and the seafront. This home is also very conveniently situated close to the South's transport links including the Isle of Wight ferry, bus links around the City, the train station at the Hard with direct links to London plus the M275 in and out of the City. The accommodation comprises entrance hall, shower room, first floor living room with balcony and a separate dining room, kitchen, three double bedrooms with the master benefitting from an en suite plus a main bathroom to the second floor. Double glazing and central heating throughout. Externally, the integral double garage can be accessed via the block paved driveway with off road parking for 2 vehicles and there is access to the low maintenance rear garden.Upon approach to Oyster Mews, you really feel the true sense of this private enclave of just 15 homes, located on French Street which is within the very heart of the Old Portsmouth Conservation Area being just a short walk to everything this sought area has to offer. Gunwharf Quays is within a short walk, offering a great mix of waterfront shops, bars, restaurants and leisure complexes and also within a short walk are Spice Island with its delightful cobbled streets, the Camber where Sir Ben Ainslie's new America's Cup Racing Team Headquarters is based and Governor's Green directly opposite Pembroke Road and fronting on to the sea. Excellent schools are nearby including Portsmouth Grammar on the High Street and St John's, Mayville and Portsmouth High in central Southsea. The entrance hall to this home immediately opens into the unique curved staircase rising to the first floor and to the ground floor leads to the downstairs shower room, a double bedroom with feature doors opening to the garden, a large storage cupboard plus there is also internal access to the integral double garage, with double garage doors to the front elevation and a window overlooking the garden. Other homes in Oyster Mews have in fact converted this considerable garage space, measuring 18'2 x 16'8, into further accommodation - perhaps relocating the kitchen and dining space or creating further bedrooms (subject to any necessary planning permissions and building regulations). To the first floor there is a kitchen to the front elevation, a sizable living room boasting a balcony with some views across to the Camber, plus, a separate dining room can be found to the level. The unique curved staircase continues to the second floor landing where there is a generous master suite benefitting from built in wardrobes along with its own en suite shower room. Next to the master there is a main bathroom and opposite, another double bedroom also with built in wardrobes. It is fair to say that this incredibly flexible three storey accommodation will suit all buyers, along with the pleasing South East views across to the Cathedral and North West to the Square Tower and Hot Walls. The blacksmith hand made pedestrian iron gate to the side of the property leads to the secluded and private rear garden which is a sun trap for sun lovers! Mature and colourful plants with fragrant climbing roses. With car parking becoming less and less in the area plus costly with many of the designated car parks charging, the block paved driveway offering two off road parking spaces is a rarity in the area. Viewings are an absolute must to fully appreciate the location and accommodation this semi detached house has to offer!
