Longmead Avenue, Bishopstoke, SO50

VC Estates are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully modernised and rarely available top floor maisonette, positioned in the highly sought-after area of Old Bishopstoke.

Offering a rare opportunity to secure a surprisingly spacious two double bedroom home, this property combines the proportions of a generous apartment with the benefits of a house — including a private entrance, private garden, off-road parking and garage.

At first glance it’s not obvious that this home is a maisonette. The private front door which sits proudly in the centre of the home opens to stairs rising to the first floor, immediately creating a sense of independence and separation from neighbouring properties.

At the heart of the home is the impressive 18ft lounge dining room, a wonderfully bright dual aspect space that sets the tone for the rest of the property — airy, light and inviting. There is ample room for both comfortable seating and a dining area, making it perfect for everyday living as well as entertaining.

The adjoining modern kitchen sits to the rear of the property, enjoying views across the church grounds and an abundance of natural light. Recently updated, it features a range of matching wall and base units, generous worktop space, one and a half bowl sink unit, integrated oven with gas hob, plumbing for washing machine and space for a freestanding fridge freezer.

There are two genuine double bedrooms, both well proportioned. Bedroom two enjoys the peaceful rear aspect and includes a built in fold away double bed, offering flexibility for guests or home working. The principal bedroom is particularly stylish, complete with feature wall panelling and ample space for freestanding furniture.

The modernised shower room is another standout feature, comprising a walk in shower, wall hung vanity unit and low level WC. Grey tiled flooring, half height tiled walls and a heated towel rail create a clean, contemporary finish.

The first floor landing provides access to all principal rooms, along with an airing cupboard and loft hatch. The property further benefits from a fully boarded loft fitted with a Velux window, offering excellent additional and easily accessible storage space.

The outside of this property elevates the property further: to the rear is a large private courtyard garden with it’s own power supply and lighting — a fantastic space for unwinding, hosting friends or enjoying warm evenings outdoors with peaceful views of the church and an overwhelming feeling of space.

A garage, with power, is conveniently next to the house with off-road parking for two cars in tandem directly in front. There is also additional on road parking close by for visitors.

This maisonette, set on a corner plot in well connected location in Bishopstoke, is a home that truly stands apart and will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike. Early viewing is highly recommended.
