Hayling Island, Hampshire

Situated to the south of Hayling Island in what is regarded as one of the island's premier roads, this deceptively spacious chalet-style home is ideal for those who enjoy the relaxing feeling of being near the waterside. Sparkes Marina stands at one end of the road, and to the other there is access to Hayling Island Sailing Club, a sailor's paradise indeed!

Whilst most people spend their working days in frantic town and city environments, most don't have the opportunity to come home to such a special setting. Just crossing Langstone bridge from the mainland and driving south down the island, leaving behind what may have been a busy working day or week, knowing the tranquillity that lies ahead, must surely be a wonderful feeling. In mere minutes from the front door you are on the beach. Kids and dogs will love it! The Telegraph in a recent article on beaches described it as 'Utopia by the Sea' and The Times listed it amongst 'The 10 Best Beaches'.

There is much to entice and also to enhance family life here. Whatever generation or age of family members, there are numerous options for recreation. In addition to all the island has to offer by way of sailing, windsurfing, days on the beach and a variety of clubs, the vast open spaces of The South Downs National Park are within a short drive.

Havant with its large range of shopping and recreation facilities is just over the bridge, and the pretty harbourside village of Emsworth with its boutique stores, coffee shops and restaurants is only a few miles further. The larger centres of Chichester, Portsmouth and Petersfield are all easily reached.

For those who need to commute, it is relatively easy with the mainline railway station at Havant connecting with London Waterloo in just over 1 hour.

This charming family home, with its ideal location next to the waterfront, is bound to ensure you are never short of visitors when the sun is out!
