5 bedroom detached house for sale

This impressive Victorian home has been the residence for the current owner and his family for nearly thirty years with vast rooms boasting attractive features including fireplaces; cornicing and picture rails. The home supplies light, well appointed family accommodation which is arranged over three storeys. The beautiful, welcoming entrance hallway leads through to the four spacious reception rooms and family kitchen. On the first floor are four large double bedrooms - two with Solent views and two with en-suite facilities. One of these rooms is cleverly separated to form an annexe style suite with a kitchenette area. On the top floor (where the original servants quarters would have been) is a large fifth bedroom with super Solent views. Although the house requires some general modernisation, the flexibility of the house means that it would suit extended families; those seeking a guest house opportunity, or anyone looking for a very spacious home which can be restored to its former splendour.
The location is accessible to local beaches and amenities, meaning that the house enjoys some Solent views. The gardens sit mainly to the rear of the home and are laid to lawn with access to the rear. There is scope (subject to the necessary works and permissions) to create parking at the property.

The enclosed front garden sets the home back from the road and a central tiled pathway leads to the half glazed front entrance door.
