Welcome To Havant Road...

Offering an impressive amount of space both inside and out, this characterful home is perfectly suited to growing families, with two generous reception rooms, a large family kitchen, four bedrooms, a wrap-around garden and excellent storage throughout.

Approached via a gate on Woolner Avenue, a footpath leads to the front entrance, where you are welcomed by a particularly spacious and bright hallway, featuring attractive hardwood parquet flooring. The grand staircase wraps around to the first floor, creating an impressive first impression, while ample storage provides plenty of practical space for the demands of family life.

The large gallery-style landing is a particularly impressive feature, providing access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also exciting potential to create a substantial loft room, with the property's dual-apex roof offering scope for a generous additional space, subject to the necessary consents and permissions.

To the front of the property is a large, dual-aspect reception room with a charming bay window. Currently used as a combined living and dining room, it provides a versatile and welcoming space for both relaxing and entertaining. A second dual-aspect reception room can be found towards the rear, also benefiting from a bay window and offering excellent flexibility as a further lounge, dining room, playroom or family room. Both rooms retain charming original features, including open fireplaces and stained-glass windows, adding warmth and character to the home.

At the heart of the property is the spacious kitchen, fitted with attractive oak wooden units, Corian worktops and a substantial central island incorporating a gas hob and seating. French doors open from the kitchen into the front reception room, creating an excellent flow between the main living and entertaining spaces. The part-glazed roof brings additional natural light into this sociable area, making it ideal for everyday family life as well as entertaining friends and family.

From the kitchen, a generous lean-to provides a useful utility area and downstairs WC. The utility space also provides a practical dedicated area for the washing machine and freezer, helping to keep everyday appliances neatly tucked away.

Upstairs, the spacious gallery landing leads to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in wardrobes, while the fourth bedroom is a single room that would make an ideal nursery, home office or study.

The modernised family bathroom features a contemporary sink and WC unit with useful storage, chrome heated towel rail, additional built-in storage and a shower over the bath.

Outside, the property occupies a fantastic corner plot with a wrap-around garden and a wealth of useful outdoor space. The south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to patio, creating a low-maintenance and private setting that is perfect for summer entertaining. The front garden combines patio and lawn, with a good-sized shed providing valuable storage.

There is also further valuable storage available down the side of the property, providing an excellent dedicated area for bikes, paddleboards, gardening equipment and other family essentials.

The property currently benefits from driveway parking and access to the garage at the rear, reached via the dropped kerb on Woolner Avenue. There may also be potential to create additional off-road parking to the front/side of the property, subject to any necessary permissions and alterations.

Throughout the ground floor, hardwood flooring provides a practical and easy-to-maintain finish, particularly well suited to busy family life and pet owners. The property is presented in fantastic condition while retaining many of the character features that make it feel like a truly individual home.

Situated in the popular Cosham/Drayton area, the property is well placed for local amenities, schools and transport links. A main bus route runs directly outside the property, providing convenient access to the surrounding area and Portsmouth. Local shops and everyday amenities are within easy reach, while the nearby A3 and M27 provide convenient connections for commuters travelling further afield.
