This is an imposing yet charming Grade II listed character home in one of the most historic and sought after roads in Alverstoke. Dating from CIRCA 1827, the extensive accommodation over four floors retains much of its original Georgian character, with the double-aspect drawing room a particular delight. The property has large and established gardens and ample off-road parking at the front. The top floor offers delightful views over the Solent and Isle of Wight. Alverstoke Village, Crescent Gardens and Stokes Bay are all just a few minutes walk away. The period character of the house is its outstanding feature, though several upper rooms require upgrading and improvement. The basement also has huge potential.

The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs, trees and fruit trees, gravelled path leading to the rear patio which in turn provides access to a rear parking area accessed via Anglesey Arms Road, this being ideal for a caravan or boat.

To the front, the property benefits from a gravelled driveway which provides ample off-road parking and enclosed by mature trees and shrubs.
