Situated on the ever-popular Richlans Road in the sought-after area of Hedge End, this beautifully extended three/four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers an exceptional blend of modern design, versatile living space, and high-quality finishes throughout. Lovingly owned and extensively improved over the past decade, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a stylish and practical home perfectly suited to contemporary family life.

To the front, a beautifully presented Marshalls Drivesett Savanna block-paved driveway which comfortably provides off road parking for three vehicles, while a modern composite front door creates an attractive first impression. The property also benefits from UPVC windows and doors throughout.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious extended hallway complete with bespoke built-in storage for coats, shoes, and household items, offering both practicality and style from the moment you step inside. Solid oak flooring flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor hallway, family room, and kitchen, enhancing the sense of warmth and quality.

The current owners have expertly extended the original property to the front and side to create a highly versatile additional reception room, ideal as a fourth bedroom, home office, playroom, or snug.

To the rear of the property lies the impressive open-plan living space, thoughtfully designed to create the perfect environment for both relaxing and entertaining. The cosy sitting room comfortably accommodates a large L-shaped sofa and features an electric fireplace with potential for conversion to a gas or open fire.

Undoubtedly the centrepiece of the home is the stunning vaulted-ceiling kitchen and dining room, installed in 2020 by Ultraplan. The striking Fjord Blue shaker-style kitchen is beautifully paired with luxurious Frozen Lake quartz worktops supplied by Landford Stone, creating a sophisticated and timeless finish. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with a range of premium appliances including an AEG full-height fridge and separate freezer, integrated Bosch dishwasher, integrated cupboard bins & space for a Rangemaster 900mm electric cooker. A generous breakfast bar provides additional seating and workspace, while ample dining space makes hosting family and friends effortless.

Adding further practicality is a bespoke built-in office area with a solid oak desktop, ideal for modern home working.

The ground floor is completed by a stylish combination utility and shower room, cleverly designed to maximise functionality. Features include plumbing for a washing machine, built-in storage, a walk-in rainfall shower, concealed cistern WC, heated towel rail, extractor fan, and a functional Solatube roof light providing natural daylight.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two generous double bedrooms, a functional single bedroom, and a luxurious recently installed family bathroom completed in 2026 to an exceptionally high standard. Featuring premium Crosswater taps and shower fittings, the suite comprises an L-shaped bath with thermostatic rainfall shower and glass screen with elegant gold accents, vanity sink unit with pull-out storage drawers, concealed cistern WC, marble-effect wall panelling, illuminated mirror cabinet, and heated towel rail.

Externally, the beautifully landscaped south-facing rear garden provides a truly stunning outdoor retreat. The porcelain tiled patio offers the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while bespoke raised planters, mature shrubs, and carefully designed seating areas create a private and tranquil atmosphere. A standout feature is the bespoke cedar and corten steel pergola complete with solar-powered lighting, creating an impressive focal point for relaxing long into the evening. The garden can be accessed via both French patio doors and premium Invisifold patio doors, which can either fully open or partially slide back to offer flexible indoor-outdoor living options.

Further benefits include a Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 832 boiler, serviced annually since installation in November 2019 and controlled via smart Hive thermostats, along with a downstairs electrical rewire completed in 2019.
