The Old Portsmouth Gaol – Originally constructed in 1877, Kingston Prison began life as a classic Victorian radial-design institution and has enjoyed a remarkably varied past. Over the decades, it has served as a boys’ borstal, a police station during World War II, and later, following the abolition of capital punishment in 1965, it became a specialist facility housing inmates serving life sentences. Uniquely, Kingston was the only prison in England and Wales to accommodate an exclusive unit for elderly male lifers, before finally closing its doors in January 2013. Now an historical Grade II listed landmark in the heart of Portsmouth, the building has been thoughtfully converted into luxury apartments, completed in 2021. 32 Radial House is a stunning two-bedroom upper-floor duplex apartment, beautifully presented throughout. The home offers two generous double bedrooms, with the primary featuring a stylish en-suite shower room. There is also a spacious main bathroom, a contemporary fitted kitchen, and a sizeable open-plan living space ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Further benefits include allocated off-road parking, access to well-maintained communal gardens, plus secure bike and bin storage. This is a rare chance to acquire a truly unique residence within a significant piece of Portsmouth’s heritage. We highly recommend arranging an internal viewing to fully appreciate everything on offer. For more information or to book a viewing, please contact the Lawson Rose sales office today.
