Description
This idyllic four-bedroom property boasts history and character throughout which welcomes you gracefully in through its striking red door. Interestingly, stated in 'A History of Waterlooville Havant Borough History Booklet No. 56', this property was the first house to be lit by electricity in 1904. It was also home to many historic war heroes, including Vice-Admiral Leggett in the late 1930's. Melton House was the place where the gentry came to be tailored for their hunting tweeds, and it is from the Melton fabric used that the house got its name. Continuing through the front door, you are greeted by original Georgian mahogany panelling with its matching wooden flooring, and exposed brickwork which features throughout the house. The entrance hall is spacious and spans off to three reception rooms. On the left, is a sweet study, office or snug with adjoining w/c which is currently used in conjunction as a utility room, with space for a washer/dryer. On the right, a warmly decorated dining room for hosting or enjoying a home cooked meal with the family. Directly onwards, you enter a generous lounge with an Inglenook fireplace for those cosy winter nights in front of the fire with large double doors leading out onto the garden patio. Following the natural course of the house, you enter the family kitchen, equipped with gas range cooker, dishwasher, larder, and space for a double fridge-freezer. Further, and sneakily hidden away, is the entrance into a generously sized cellar for additional storage needs.
Continuing upstairs, there are three good size double bedrooms, one with its own ensuite shower room and the other with integrated storage plus a beautiful feature wall. The other bedroom is a good size single, with integrated storage for clothing and neutrally painted. To finish, the generosity of the property continues outside; to the rear there is a great sized enclosed walled garden which houses a gated drive and garage, plus workshop and summer house for ample storage and peaceful summer evenings, respectively.
Importantly, the boiler and radiators have all recently been replaced, there is the addition of double glazed windows and the property will be given a fresh lease of life with redecoration throughout for the new residents!
