Direct private access to the beach and panoramic Solent views
Set directly on Hill Head beach, this substantial Edwardian semi-detached house offers 2,900 sq ft of flexible living with direct beach access and panoramic views across The Solent to the Isle of Wight. All principal rooms face the water, and reinforced sea defences provide reassurance for coastal living. A generous south-facing garden, substantial terrace and first-floor balcony maximise outdoor enjoyment and seaside views.
The property is currently arranged as two apartments — a larger lower apartment and an upper apartment — creating clear options for a multi-family arrangement, owner-occupier with rental income, or conversion back into a single grand residence. Both kitchens are fitted and there is off-street parking for several cars with gated access to the rear garden.
Buyers should note the environmental and running-cost considerations: the EPC rating is D, the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation and double glazing installation dates are unknown. The house dates from c.1900–1929 with modern extensions; while much of the accommodation is large and bright, bringing the property up to modern energy-efficiency or layout preferences may require investment. Council tax sits above average.
This location suits families and buyers seeking a lifestyle by the sea or investors wanting rental income and redevelopment potential. Hill Head provides local amenities, a sailing club and excellent countryside nearby, with Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton within easy reach.
