Leading from the brick façade you enter an apartment which has a mixture of traditional character features including exposed brick walls, beamed ceiling and original supports, however it also has a contemporary style with a bedroom, re-fitted shower room, storage cupboards and open plan kitchen / family area with the original wrought iron doors on the ground floor, with an open tread staircase leading to a galleried drawing room with a study area to one end, a bedroom and views towards the harbour entrance. The upper level living room has a glass balustrade overlooking the kitchen and living room below, there is some under floor heating, electric panel heating and an allocated car parking space plus visitor car parking facilities and floor coverings throughout.

and restaurants, a cinema, bowling complex as well as being situated at the entrance of Portsmouth harbour. The land is steeped in history and this site is recorded to have been used to defend Portsmouth as far back as 1526.
