Large detached four-bedroom family home on a generous plot, ready for refurbishment.
Four double bedrooms with three reception rooms and flexible living spaces
This substantial four-bedroom detached house on Havant Road is an established family home offered with vacant possession at the end of chain. The layout includes three reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory and a garden room with its own grape vine — generous living space suited to families who need flexible rooms and storage. The plot is notably large with front and rear lawns, mature borders, fruit trees, greenhouse, shed and off-street parking including a single and a double garage plus carport.
The property has strong period character—feature fireplaces, a pantry, built-in cupboards and a conservatory—but the interior requires comprehensive modernisation throughout. Expect cosmetic and systems updating (kitchen, bathrooms, heating and electrics) and low ceilings in parts of the ground floor; the house is presented as lived-in and needs a refurbishment programme to bring it up to contemporary standards.
For families, the location is useful: good primary schools within close reach, convenient local shops and regular bus links, plus fast broadband and low local crime. Council tax is above average and the house is freehold. Buyers looking for a move-in-ready finish should allow for renovation costs; those seeking a roomy family home in a popular area will find excellent scope to improve value and tailor the layout to modern family life.
In short: a roomy, characterful detached house on a large plot with garages and mature gardens, offered to the market for buyers willing to invest in updating. The property presents practical potential and immediate family-friendly features but requires renovation before achieving contemporary comfort and efficiency.
