Description

A harmonious blend of the past and present defines these four distinctive, freehold apartments, rendering them truly exceptional. Steeped in history, The Shell Painting House was once the bustling hub where the renowned "Canary Girls" meticulously applied the final touches to shells and small armaments, earning their nickname from the vivid Sulphur yellow TNT (gunpowder) paint they worked with.
Now, this listed building undergoes a transformation into individual two-bedroom homes, offering the same elegant finishes found throughout this exclusive enclave. Each residence features a spacious living room seamlessly integrated with an open-plan kitchen area, adorned with vaulted ceilings and exposed industrial beams for a touch of rustic charm. Retained characterful windows offer picturesque views of both the waterfront and the natural undulating landscape of the Scheduled Monument, while every apartment boasts a balcony extending from either the living room or bedroom. Moreover, the end terrace units enjoy the added luxury of private gardens.
Completing the allure of these homes, each one comes with two allocated parking spaces, ensuring both convenience and practicality for residents. Discover the allure of Canary Yard: The Painting House, where history meets modernity in perfect harmony.

Nestled within the historic landscape of Priddy's Hard, Canary Yard and Cordite Way stand as the culmination of a transformative journey, marking the final phase of redevelopment for the former Ordnance yard. Dating back to the late eighteenth century, this area's significance emerged from the need to relocate gunpowder away from central Portsmouth, recognising the potential hazards it posed. Thus began a storied history of industry and innovation, overseen by the Board of Ordnance and evolving alongside advancements in munitions technology.

Location

Nestled within the historic landscape of Priddy's Hard, Canary Yard and Cordite Way stand as the culmination of a transformative journey, marking the final phase of redevelopment for the former Ordnance yard. Dating back to the late eighteenth century, this area's significance emerged from the need to relocate gunpowder away from central Portsmouth, recognising the potential hazards it posed. Thus began a storied history of industry and innovation, overseen by the Board of Ordnance and evolving alongside advancements in munitions technology.

Despite the passage of time and the gradual erosion of much of the original site, resilient structures and landmarks endure, standing as enduring testaments to its heritage. Among these relics are the Shell Filling Rooms, sheltered within Grade 2 listed blast walls, which have found new purpose in the form of traverse-style detached homes. Seamlessly integrated between these formidable structures, these homes symbolise the transition of the site from a Royal Ordnance Yard to a contemporary residential enclave.
