The versatile and well-balanced accommodation provides approximately 1450 sq ft of living space, including a third reception room which might be of particular interest to those working from home or those seeking a home for a growing family. The contemporary, refitted kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully bright due to the abundance of natural light provided by the dual aspect windows, the roof light above the sink and the French doors in the adjoining dining room which in turn, provide access to the rear garden. The room is well-equipped with attractive eye and base level units and complementary worktops complete with a breakfast bar and integrated modern appliances. In addition, there is a double glazed ‘lean to’ style room currently used as a separate utility room, a ground floor cloakroom/shower room, a study/fourth bedroom and a spacious sitting room to the front. The first floor features three generous bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Externally, there is a long block paved driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The south-facing rear garden is a notable feature of this lovely home, with a high quality paved patio area extending across the full width of the house and shallow steps which lead to the lawned area offering well-stocked flower and shrub borders.<br /><br />The well served village of Park Gate is located just off the A27 and merges into Sarisbury Green to the West, and Segensworth to the East. The property is situated only a short walk from Whiteley shopping centre which offers a relaxed out of town shopping experience with a large selection of high street brands and top restaurants. Just North is the local railway station known as Swanwick (which can be a little confusing as it’s closer to Park Gate than Swanwick) it provides services along the South Coast between Brighton and Poole and an hourly service to London Victoria. Beyond the station is the M27 motorway, and further North are the settlements of Burridge and Curbridge (not to be confused with Curdridge), these settlements provide a semi-rural feel and they adjoin the banks of the River Hamble making them ideal for nature lovers. The Southern edge of Park Gate merges into Locks Heath where there is a substantial shopping centre. In Park Gate itself there is a very good range of shops and facilities, including three banks, an optician, a florist, a gift shop, hairdressers, green grocers, estate agents and a fish and chip shop. There are no less than ten public houses within the immediate surrounding areas. In addition, there are two Churches: Duncan Road Church and St. Margaret Mary R.C. A respected Primary School serves the area of Park Gate and feeds into the regarded Secondary School known as Brookfield which is located within two miles. Park Gate is very popular with commuters due to its proximity to road and rail links.
