Set on a large corner plot on prestigious Crescent Road, this substantial 1930s detached house offers rare seaside living with far-reaching views across the Solent and Isle of Wight. Spread over approximately 3,619 sqft, the home provides five bedrooms, three reception rooms, a conservatory and a double garage — generous space for a growing or multi-generation family.
The property’s strengths are immediate: a gated driveway, secluded gardens, and elevated outlooks towards Stokes Bay and the coast. Interiors are bright with large bay windows and traditional period features; the master bedroom benefits from front and side Solent views and private bathroom access. Nearby Alverstoke village amenities and several well-regarded schools make this a convenient family location.
There are notable practical issues to consider. The Energy Performance Rating is E (43) and walls are assumed to be original cavity construction with no added insulation; upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. The house currently has two bathrooms for five bedrooms and will likely need modernisation in areas to meet contemporary family expectations.
This is a property of character and scale that rewards sympathetic renovation. For buyers seeking a unique seaside family home with enormous potential and privacy, this is a rare opportunity; budget for energy improvements, internal modernisation and higher council tax when calculating running costs.
