Large 1970s detached house with sea views, garages and high renovation potential, minutes from the beach.
Panoramic views over The Solent and Isle of Wight
Set just a minute’s walk from the beach, this 1970s detached house occupies a large plot with sweeping views over The Solent to the Isle of Wight. Arranged over two floors, the property offers generous rooms, a canopied front balcony, double-aspect sitting room and a dining area that could be opened up to create contemporary living space. Private parking, a double and single garage and a low-maintenance courtyard complete the exterior.
The house has been in the same family since it was built and now offers superb potential to modernise, reconfigure or extend (subject to planning). Key systems include a Vaillant boiler installed in 2014 and double glazing; capped gas to the sitting-room fireplace and fitted wardrobes in several bedrooms are practical bonuses. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the area is very affluent with very low crime.
Buyers should note the property requires renovation and modernisation throughout, with assumed cavity walls lacking insulation and an EPC rating of D (64). Council tax sits in a higher band, and some internal reconfiguration will be needed to create open-plan living or an updated kitchen and bathrooms. Planning or building works to extend the balcony or footprint will require the necessary consents.
This house will suit a family seeking seaside living with excellent scope to add value, or downsizers who want adaptable space and sea views but are happy to manage a renovation project. Proximity to local schools, Alver Valley Country Park and Lee-on-the-Solent High Street makes it a convenient coastal base.
