Ground Floor:
A practical entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway, flooded with natural light and complete with a useful understairs storage cupboard.
Leading from the hall is a generous dining room, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining, where some original parquet flooring adds warmth and character to this elegant space.
The kitchen enjoys delightful views across the rear garden and is fitted with a range of traditional wooden wall and base units. A built-in dining nook and breakfast bar create an informal space for everyday meals, making this very much the heart of the home.
Beyond the kitchen, a useful utility room provides additional workspace, a sink, space/plumbing for a washing machine, together with excellent storage. Internal access to the integral garage offers yet more storage and practical convenience. A separate cloakroom with WC is perfectly positioned for guests and everyday family life.

The principal sitting room is a wonderfully bright dual-aspect space, filled with natural light throughout the day. An extension to the rear creates a second reception area, separated by wide glazed double doors, allowing the rooms to be opened into one impressive entertaining space or closed off to provide a peaceful retreat.

This versatile extension could equally serve as a ground floor bedroom, guest suite, home office or snug, benefitting from its own fully tiled shower room, making it particularly well suited to multi-generational living or visiting family and friends.

First Floor:
The spacious first-floor landing enhances the sense of space throughout the house and provides access to the loft via a fitted loft ladder, offering excellent additional storage.

There are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all benefitting from built-in wardrobes or storage cupboards. Two bedrooms enjoy a pleasant outlook to the front, while the remaining two overlook the magnificent rear gardens, capturing attractive sea glimpses across the Solent and some truly spectacular evening sunsets.

The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin and WC, serving the first-floor accommodation with ease.

Exterior

To the front of the property, a private driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to the integral garage and there is side access to the rear garden.

Lovingly cultivated over many years by enthusiastic gardeners, the grounds have become home to an extraordinary collection of plants gathered during travels around the world. Mature specimen planting, colourful borders and wildflower areas create an ever-changing landscape filled with interest throughout the seasons.
Salvias, established vines and vibrant lavatera are just a few of the many varieties that flourish here, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Whether relaxing with a morning coffee, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the garden, this expansive area offers something special at every turn.

The impressive grounds also include a greenhouse, a substantial potting shed and an additional garden store, providing ample space for keen gardeners and hobbyists alike. Given the generous size of the plot, there is excellent scope for further landscaping or enhancement, allowing future owners to shape the outdoor space to their own vision.
