Crescent Road, Alverstoke

Situated within the prestigious Crescent Road in the conservation area of Alverstoke, an iconic and striking 1920’s residence and much-loved family home owned by my clients for 30 years, set in glorious grounds of 0.44 acres with simply outstanding views over the gardens and beyond, across The Solent towards the Isle of Wight.

During my clients time of ownership this wonderful house has been well looked after and maintained and offers 2,905 square feet of accommodation. The property is set behind a mature hedge and has a large gravel driveway providing parking for numerous cars, as well as a double car port and a single garage; additionally there is space to the side of the garage for the storage of a boat if required and double wooden gates give access to the rear garden. A pathway leads to the front door and on entering the Hallway the wealth of period features can be appreciated with the original oak parquet floor running through the principal reception rooms. The gracious Sitting Room is filled with sunlight and centres on a gas log effect stove with double doors leading to the terrace outside. Adjacent to the Sitting Room is an artist’s studio (this could easily be converted into bedroom accommodation if need along with an ensuite, as plumbing is in situ). A dual aspect Study/Snug situated to the front of the house centres on a lovely coal effect fireplace. A particular selling feature of this lovely home is the open plan Kitchen/Dining Room which leads at the far end, via bi fold doors, into the fantastic Conservatory providing a space in which to relax and enjoy the garden. The Kitchen has been fitted with ample cupboards with a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher and American fridge/freezer included; there is also an island providing storage and a breakfast bar for informal dining. A Utility Room and Cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs, situated over two floors, are six double bedrooms, complimented by three bathroom suites. Bedroom 1 is particularly generous with large windows affording breathtaking views over The Solent and the Isle of Wight beyond; Bedrooms 2, 4 and 5 also offer gorgeous sea views. The back garden is mature and sophisticated with terrace areas to enjoy the gentle sea breeze and sunshine at different times of the day; it is mainly laid to lawn with a feature pond and rockery and with a ‘secret’ garden behind a hedge at the far end.

This really is an exciting opportunity to acquire a truly unique residence situated in a prime location a short distance from Stokes Bay and the village amenities.
