Old Portsmouth.
For many years the building traded as the landmark Monk's Bar both in private ownership and then through the Gales Brewery. When Gales was acquired by Fullers who already have other pub and dining interests in the vicinity the decision was made to close Monk's Bar as to dilute the competition for existing outlets. However, it is considered that the building could once again be returned to its former use as a splendid bar and restaurant with a significant level of bar and eating space over the ground and first floors.
The upper floors are, at present, arranged as living accommodation and had previously provided a home for a previous owner and then latterly the pub/restaurant management and a chef. There is the major advantage of rear access to the building with a wrought iron staircase providing independent access to the upper floors, if required.
It is considered that the building offers huge scope and potential, as previously indicated, for a return to its former use or alternatively other commercial uses or perhaps a conversion into a significant residential dwelling may be a further option that prospective purchasers may wish to consider, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 16, 2021
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
