The property is set in a peaceful location with views across Hill Head beach and the Solent towards the Isle of Wight. Quarry House was constructed circa 1924 which is reflected in the modernist/art deco style of the front facade. The interior of the property is enhanced by the Crittall windows, many making a curved sun-trap shape allowing for maximum natural light into the property. Some of the many original features include pine parquet flooring, original doors and bathroom fittings including ball & claw enamel tub baths and high level cistern WCs.
The property sits centrally in an approximate 1/6 acre plot surrounded by an array of mature trees and shrubs forming a woodland haven for wildlife. To the front of the house is a sweeping tarmac drive with five bar gate and access to the GARAGES.
The rear garden backs onto Stubbington Study Centre which features a natural area allowing school children to take part in a variety of outdoor educational activities learning about the local environment, animals and plants. As well as a tended lawn there is a walled, raised courtyard seating area ideal for al fresco dining flanked by an espalier apple and a fig tree. The raised SWIMMING POOL is 6ft at its deepest point and 4ft at its shallowest (dimensions approx 11'6" x 30'9").
To the side of the property there is a mature orchard consisting of 8 apple trees, 2 plums, a pear and a greengage tree. A path leads around to the front of the property past the sunken garden.
