A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a substantial period property bursting with potential that would make incredible family home, in an ideal location. The stunning period features are evident from the onset, beginning with the beautiful, domed portico framing the front door, and continuing throughout the home with original fireplaces, bay windows and a gorgeous staircase, to name but a few. A generous, paved driveway at the front extends further down the side of the property to a garage and further parking at the rear, providing ample space for numerous vehicles. The ground floor boasts three reception rooms plus the kitchen, starting with two living rooms at the front, both of which enjoy lovely bay windows and the potential to restore both fireplaces where the chimneys are still in situ. Toward the rear is a dining room with two walk-in cupboards, currently being used as a pantry and store respectively, plus a good sized kitchen with a pleasant, garden view. Ascend the gorgeous, original staircase with beautiful, turned wood newel posts and handrails to the first floor, where you’ll find three spacious double bedrooms, plus a fourth room that would lend itself to a variety of uses – a home office, nursery or ensuite. There’s a contemporary family shower room, with a wet room style, large level entry shower and conveniently, there are separate toilets on both the ground and first floors. Outside to the rear is good sized garden that’s a pleasing mix of lawn and well-maintained plants and ornamental trees. With a practical compost area at the rear of the detached double garage. It is unusual to find a property such as this one, particularly in such an advantageous location, being just a few minutes’ drive from the Fishbourne car ferry to Portsmouth and East Cowes car ferry to Southampton. As you can see, this property already has all of the ingredients that make an ideal family home, it’s just waiting for the right buyer to unleash its potential and restore this gorgeous house to its former glory.
