House For Sale £835,000
Introduction From stepping over the threshold of Bay Tree House, there is an immediate feeling of space, a luxury rarely found in modern properties. It seems that the generous hallway is not solely intended to instil a feeling of welcome just at the front door, as this theme continues throughout the house. Even the upstairs hallway, which outshines the dimensions of many double-bedrooms in newly-built homes, is a generous enough space for a variety of uses. There's even been a pool table here in the past.
Since they moved here in 2013, the current owners have enhanced the property by combining the kitchen and dining room, to create a large open-plan space. With the family room adjoining, this area is now very much the hub of the home and fulfils the preferred style for modern-day family living. With a large sitting room, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, two cloakrooms and an exceptionally generous loft area, this is a home which will comfortably accommodate a growing family. Everything is on a 'spacious' scale, even the cupboards are 'roomy'…... Just an added bonus!
The village of Langstone is located to the south of Havant and to the north of Hayling Island. Dating back to the Saxon period, it's located on a peninsula where Langstone and Chichester Harbours meet. It has a large nature reserve designated as a Special Protection Area for wildlife and a lovely coastal path, enjoyed by walkers and cyclists. It's a tranquil and beautiful spot tucked away from suburbia. There are two popular waterside pubs, a sailing club, church and the renowned Langstone Mill. And if you want to be at the beach, it's only a couple of miles to the southern 'Blue Flag' beach on Hayling Island, where there are opportunities for many pass times for all ages, whether that be 'in, on or out' of the water.
If all that relaxation needs to be temporarily set aside and travel to the capital is necessary, it really is quite easy with the mainline station being just a mile away with a service which takes a little over one hour. And the pleasure of the return journey, leaving the noise of the city behind and anticipating that feeling of peace and tranquillity that awaits at home, is surely the perfect end to a busy working day!
