St. Nick arrives with an early family present

In many cultures, Santa Claus has an alter ego, St Nicholas.

And now St Nicholas is about to deliver a very early Christmas present to one home-buying family in Portsmouth in the shape of an impressive end of terrace house dating back to the 1950s but very much set up for busy modern-day lifestyles.

Standing on the corner of Pembroke Close, the house is in the popular residential area of Old Portsmouth yet within easy access of shopping amenities, bus routes, the historic waterfront, St Jude’s School, restaurants, pubs, and the Garrison Church and Grounds.

Its corner position allows for the front door to be placed in the side of the house – effectively in Pembroke Close – so the entrance hall and stairs take up very little of the valuable internal space.

Across the front of the house is a kitchen / dining room with ample storage and a generous array of built-in appliances and twin doors in the dining space leading to a large under stairs storage / larder space.

Occupying the rear of the ground floor is the living room, with high level windows to one side and central glazed doors set in glazed side panels that open onto the enclosed rear courtyard-style garden which is paved and features a central circular patio with raised flower borders and which makes a perfect relaxation and play space for busy people who can enjoy privacy thanks to the high surrounding walls.

The first floor has three bedrooms, the master with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room to complement the family bathroom. A second staircase rises from the landing to a fourth bedroom in the roof space which has access to eaves storage at the front and rear.

The house is set back from St Nicholas Street behind a hedge and garden while a garage with a door to the rear garden is accessed from Pembroke Close.
