Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY There are very few locations on the South Coast of England that can offer open aspect views over the Solent but 'Ballaboorey' was designed with exactly that in mind, having the living room, primary bedroom and dining room all on the first floor with outstanding waterfront views. The individually designed home was built with versatility in mind having study facilities and bedrooms on ground floor level as well as on the first floor. There is also further potential to create more living space below the main house by creating a granny annexe or equivalent accommodation, subject to necessary planning consents. The house's good size proportions making it easy space to live in with plenty of room for family life or entertaining, with a large rooftop terrace and enclosed garden, as well as having direct access onto the beach. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises; hallway, three bedrooms and shower room on one wing with a further bedroom / study and cloakroom on the other ground floor wing. On the first floor there is a large double aspect living room, dining room, fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Being located towards the south eastern tip of Hayling Island with the RYA marina, sailing club and nature reserve nearby, with award winning wind surfing facilities, schools, recreation grounds and local shopping facilities nearby, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
