During their time in residence, the current owners have carried out many improvements, such that the house is now presented in a condition that suits our modern family lifestyles. It offers combined style, comfort and space enough for everyone to grasp their own time away from the normal buzz of family life!
The main house has internal accommodation of about 3,050 sq. ft. arranged over three floors. The principal bedroom suite covers the whole of the top floor and has an ensuite shower room and wall-to-wall bi-fold doors onto a balcony with a south-west aspect. A great space for a little peace and quiet to enjoy the view. There are three further bedrooms and two further bathrooms on the middle floor and four excellent reception areas on the ground floor.
The Coach House, which no-doubt was a well-used facility in its' day, stands at the bottom of the garden close to the old Hayling Billy Line, and offers an additional 1,020 sq. ft. of accommodation with flexibility of use; it has recently been used as a privately rented home but would work equally as well for AirB&B, a home/business workspace, a hobbies studio or simply as additional family space. Not merely a timber shed in the garden, The Coach house is substantial in both structure and size.
Situated next to Langstone Harbour, this offers great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. It is possible to stroll to the waters edge with your own small boat or paddleboards, without the need to pack the car. There are walking routes all around with the Haying Billy Trail to the rear of the house, and the coastal footpath which meanders through an RSPB Nature and on to Chichester Harbour, to the front. And of course, there are miles of beaches around Hayling Island, just minutes away, as is Langstone Sailing Club.
Road links are excellent with the A27 along the south coast and the A3 to London within a few minutes of the property. If commuting to the capital is required, Havant Station has regular services to London in c. 1hr 20 mins.
STEP INSIDE It is always nice to step back in time and admire the workmanship of our predecessors. Although skill and design are still used in housebuilding today, there is a much lesser degree of attention attributed to elegance, and modern-day replicates often struggle to come up to the mark of the genuine original properties of the Edwardian period!
When you step into the hallway of Langstone Wharf it is clear to see that it has been maintained over the years with a view to retaining and enjoying those traditional features; large sash windows, picture and dado rails, ornate architraves and cornices, stained glass windows and original fireplaces.
The Sitting Room and Study both sit to the front of the house with large square bay windows and are of good proportions.
At the back of the house is the open-plan Kitchen/Family/Dining Room (almost 22 ft long x 24 ft at its widest). With glass patio doors, large windows and four skylights, this whole area benefits from a great deal of light.
The Kitchen which has been refitted with a vast array of light-grey painted wooden units, under black granite worktops. There is an extensive central island with inset sink, concealed bins, integrated dishwasher and an extensive range of storage. There is a Rangemaster gas-fired cooker with extractor over and tower units housing the fridge, freezer and microwave. A part-glazed door gives access from the driveway.
The Family Room has adequate space for relaxation and dining.
The Garden Room, you may choose to use this as a garden room for relaxation and entertaining friends or it could suit your needs better as a children's play room or a home office/workspace.
The Utility Room is tucked away at the other end of the kitchen and is fully fitted with the same units as the kitchen. There is plumbing for appliances and a new Groundfos Home Booster water pump and header-tank serving the whole house.
On the first floor, Bedrooms Two and Four each have a pleasant front view towards the water, whilst Bedroom Two, which has its own ensuite shower room, provides a double-aspect view over the large rear garden.
At the top of the house there is what just might be, and almost certainly to busy parents, the best room of all. A large principal bedroom with an ensuite and its own private balcony with wall-to-wall bi-fold doors providing an ideal spot for a bit of seclusion, whilst being able to observe the goings on in the garden below!
From the principal bedroom, there is access to a significant eaves storage space.
STEP OUTSIDE To the front the house there two sets of twin brick pillars leading onto separates driveways. To one side a high wooden fence with vehicular gates gives access to a long gravelled driveway to the detached garage, complete with sail loft. The second driveway also has double-wooden gates leading to a secure boat park (the storage unit can remain if desired) and a useful large garden storage area. It is possible to park about 11 cars on site.
To the rear, the large garden is mature and well-tended with a central feature pathway through the lawn towards the Coach House. There are pleasant patio areas and a detached timber garden room from where to enjoy some sun or shade. At the end of the garden there is a gate to a wooded area which leads onto The Hayling Billy Trail. Ideal for surfing or kayaking.
The Coach House, at the end of the garden concealed from the house by high hedging, has a main entrance hallway with a small kitchen and a shower room. The ground floor reception room is over 24 ft long x almost 14 ft wide and the open-plan upper floor over 36 ft long x almost 14ft wide, offering the ability for adaptation if desired.
