About
We are thrilled to present this stunning two-bedroom lower-ground apartment in the heart of Central Southsea, complete with secure, gated parking.
Thoughtfully restored, the property was once part of the historic St John's College, blending heritage and charm with modern luxury.
Situated within the exclusive St John's Square development, the Oaklands Villa comprises five newly converted apartments, each offering high-end finishes throughout and being the only Villa with its own private secure gated entrance and car park.
Upon entering the apartment, through your own private entrance overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens, the spacious open plan living and dining area creates a seamless flow, complemented by a fully fitted kitchen featuring Caesarstone worktops and integrated appliances.
Off the lounge, a hallway leads to a well-appointed second bedroom, a convenient storage closet, and a luxurious bathroom including a rainfall shower over the bath.
The generous master bedroom completes this exceptional home, offering both space and comfort.
