The Property
A magnificent country house occupying 1.8 acre grounds, situated on the rural outskirts of Havant. The house is Grade II Listed, and has a seductive blend of both Georgian elegance and traditional rustic charm, complete with beautifully proportioned reception rooms, mainly with sash windows and original shutters, and is built mainly of attractively weathered mellow brick, under a slate tiled roof.

Development Options
The house has a 2-storey wing, probably formerly the servants' quarters, which provides very flexible and adaptable accommodation, and has huge potential to renovate to create either a second dwelling, an annexe or holiday accommodation (subject to planning permission).

The vendor has created a scheme for developing part of the garden for the provision of 5 additional dwellings.   It is recommended that a prospective purchaser look into planning prospects themselves at Havant Borough Council.

There is an excellent sized double garage block with workshops, in excess of 1000sqft, on the northern boundary, and it is believed that there may be future planning potential on this area of garden.

The Location
The house is in a rural position, some 1.6 miles from the bustling town centre, with the main shopping areas being pedestrianised, having an ubiquitous range of national outlets. The mainline railway station at Havant provides fast rail travel to London Waterloo or Portsmouth Harbour and cross-channel ferry travel to Normandy. The A27 provides motorway travel both east and west, linking to the A3(M) trunk route to London. A few miles to the north are miles of open countryside on the South Downs, whilst to the south are a number of sailing clubs in and around Langstone, Chichester and Portsmouth Harbours.
