The Old Forge is right in the centre of town, making it easy to plan your visit to Portsmouth. This unique space has been renovated into a 2 bedroom house with parking for 2 cars and a sunny courtyard . The Old Forge was originally a Coach House to The Old Vic Pub built in 1899 before becoming a foundry in the 1950’s hence it’s name. Just a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants and bars and only a 10 minute walk to the seafront, this characteristic property has it all right on your door step!
The Old Forge was sold by the brewery in 1998 and renovated by the current owners to become a residential dwelling.

Downstairs, one bedroom with a king size and the main bedroom boasting a Californian Queen bed! 2 car parking spaces just outside the property and a car park opposite for any visitors. Please expect some noise at the weekends as the property is next door to a restaurant.
