Havant Road, Hayling Island

Positioned in a requested locality within Hayling Island, this charming, detached Grade II listed 16th Century cottage boasts an abundance of period features and great living accommodation whilst also benefitting from three reception rooms, good sized bedrooms, off road parking and beautifully landscaped Southerly aspect private garden. The addition of a versatile outbuilding consists of studio/home office, sauna, practical shower with WC facilities and attic room. An early viewing is advised to fully appreciate what this property has to offer.

Upon approach to this deceptively spacious property, a brick pathway, complete with an area of mature lawned frontage, leads up to the traditionally paneled solid wood front door. Once inside, you’re greeted into a cosy family/living room complete with Inglenook fireplace and beautiful wooden flooring. With its front aspect orientation, this room is a beautifully light space which also flows through to the sitting room/second reception room which presents with charming beams, window overlooking the secluded front garden and a further feature fireplace including wood burner. As you continue through to the rear of the property, a spacious dining room with a pretty outlook over the rear patio provides access through to the kitchen and a hidden staircase to first floor cleverly concealed by a quaint lift latch door. The kitchen evokes a farmhouse aesthetic with soft textured shaker style cabinetry and a flagstone floor accommodating spaces for freestanding appliances and a balanced amount of functional worksurface. There is also a lovely orientation to all angles of the garden via multi aspect low level windows providing a beautiful amount of natural light within the working space. Beyond the dining area, a large rear boot and cloakroom also provides access to the garden and utility area that offers the addition of practical shower and WC facilities.

To the first floor, a centralised landing leads to all three bedrooms and family bathroom. The primary boasts a fantastic size with attractive period features such as the endearing eyebrow window and fireplace; whilst offering plenty of space for freestanding furniture arrangement. Bedroom two is of similar size and offers built-in storage of generous depth and an additional feature eyebrow window.

Externally, the landscaped garden is fenced and hedged surround with established mature borders to ensure optimum privacy and full enjoyment all year round. Offering a paved patio area and zoned areas of lawn with decking, the multi-orientation, primarily South, takes advantage of the sun for most daylight hours. Within the garden there exists a large storage shed with substantial space for additional storage options, an external work area and small vegetable patch. Overlooking the main garden, a current brick and wooden built framework houses the hot tub. A considerable benefit of this property is it’s outbuilding that has been lovingly restored from what was previously ‘The Piggery’. This building offers a functional studio/home office space serviced by shower and WC facilities with an addition of a sauna. The attic room within the building also provides a cosy space perfect for rest, relaxation and overlooking the beautiful garden. A secure gate also provides access to the off-road parking for the property situated to the rear.
