House For Sale £650,000
This architecturally designed seaside home of over 1,550 sq ft is perfectly positioned just minutes from the wide-open beaches on Hayling Island, Hampshire. The architectural and interior design takes an exacting approach to detail, pairing open-plan living with the wonderful coastal light which floods across its two storeys. Energy efficiency and sustainability were critical to the overall design, resulting in impressive eco-credentials. Two beautiful decked terraces sit either side of the house, while a generous provision of off-street parking can be found at the front.
The Tour
The house is positioned on a quiet residential street, set back behind a timber fence with mature hedging providing additional privacy. A large carport and driveway mean there is parking for several vehicles.
The external material palette is a simple yet contemporary combination of Siberian Larch and glass. Large picture windows invite an excellent quality of natural light. The entrance is at the front of the house and leads through to the primary living spaces, which are arranged in a fluid open-plan layout and laid with timber flooring.
A modern kitchen is neatly organised at one side of the room, with a central island creating a natural division. Appliances have been discreetly tucked into bespoke lines of joinery, and sliding glass doors open this area onto the generous front terrace. The living space is positioned centrally and provides flexibility in layout, with glass doors opening onto the rear decked terrace. The dining area is currently set opposite, where full-height glazing optimises natural light levels. A dividing panelled wall leads to an additional living space, which offers great flexibility of use, either as a sleeping area and en suite shower room or as a reading room or snug.
A double-height stairwell creates dramatic pitch and volume and leads to two beautifully proportioned bedrooms on the upper floors. The main bedroom, at first-floor level, has a large adjoining walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room. The second bedroom also has an en suite bathroom, a bath and a shower and a generous provision of built-in cabinetry and storage space.
Great care has been taken throughout the build to ensure exceptional energy efficiency and low running costs. The house also includes a ten-year warranty.
Outdoor Space
Externally, there is a decked terrace which runs the length of the house to the rear. It is the perfect position to enjoy the afternoon sun, with specimen trees providing welcome dappled shade. There is also a shed for useful external storage. A second decked terrace extends the front of the house, accessible directly from the kitchen, which is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening sundowner.
The Area
Hayling Island is a very special area of coastline positioned between Chichester Harbour and Langstone Harbour on the south coast. The island rose in popularity through the 1930s, following a period of intensive seaside development that made the most of the island’s five-mile coastline. As Pevsner describes in his guide to Hampshire and the Isle of Wight ‘it’s a place to which people come in the hope of carefree holidays’.
The island is connected to the mainland by road, via a bridge built in the early 19th Century, and ferry services to Portsmouth. It is home to a wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities such as sailing clubs, which are within easy reach from Nutbourne Road). There is also a four-mile coastal path (formally a railway track for a steam train known as the ‘Hayling Billy’) which runs along the Western coast of the Island used for hiking, horse riding and cycling.
The closest train station is Havant (approximately six miles away) which runs direct services to London Waterloo in under an hour and a half. The A3 and the M27 are easily accessible, for road access towards London, and nearby Portsmouth and Southampton.
