INTRODUCTION
Hamble Cliff House originally dates back to the early 1800's and was designed by the renowned diplomat Sir Arthur Pageant. This wonderful Grade II listed former manor house has hosted several illustrious guests over the years, including Princess Louise, the Princess of Battenberg and her Majesty the Empress Fredrick of Germany. The house was later occupied by the US Marines during the Second World War before being passed into the ownership of British Aerospace. This exceptionally attractive building was then thoughtfully converted into apartments in 1991 and has remained a truly wonderful place to live for the residents ever since.

This beautiful top floor penthouse apartment enjoys unrivalled views across Southampton Water. Briefly, the accommodation comprises a spacious sitting/dining room, 16ft kitchen/breakfast room, three double bedrooms that include a large en-suite to the master and modern family bathroom.
