House For Sale £795,000
Introduction The opportunity to modernise this fine family home, is one not to be missed. The extensive plot and well-proportioned interior accommodation offer flexibility for modernisation and potential extension, subject to the required planning consents.
Situated on a private cul-de-sac of twelve individually designed detached properties, Anahilt House which was built in the 1930s has a genuine provenance with the town, having been built for the Davies's, a prominent local family of chemists. Providing living accommodation of about 2,141 sq ft, the house sits in the corner of its plot of approximately 0.35 of an acre, on what is considered to be one of Havant's most prestigious avenues.
As it nears its centenary, it is noted that Anahilt House has only been in the ownership of two families. Original features are plentiful; wooden flooring to the main reception rooms, wall paneling to the dining room, sitting room fireplace, plaster moldings, picture rails, wooden window pelmets and feature curved angles to ceiling and wall connections. Modern UPVC double-glazed window units have been installed, however they have been cleverly designed to replicate the original Crittal versions, ensuring the house retains its authentic period presentation whilst providing modern comfort.
This family home is in an ideal location, about 0.5 mile to the east of Havant town centre with its extensive high street facilities. If commuting to the capital by train is required this couldn't be simpler, with Warblington Station a comfortable stroll from the front door, and Havant Station linking with London Waterloo close-by in the town centre. Access to the A27 is also within 0.5 mile stretching along the south coast and leading to the historic city of Chichester to the east, and Portsmouth to the west. The waterfront is within a short walk, where there are many opportunities for water-based activities for all age groups, or pleasant walks along the coast.

The garden is ideal for family use. There is a large lawn spreading from the front door around to the rear garden which in the past featured a tennis court, and which could be re-instated. The whole is fully enclosed with fencing and features a variety of mature trees, shrubs and flower beds. There are a number of fruit trees, including apple and fig, and a fine specimen Magnolia Tree on the front lawn. There are two useful good-sized sheds and a smaller store room located on the northern boundary of the garden. The whole plot extends to about 0.35 of an acre.
