An imposing and handsome Grade II* listed Regency townhouse requiring modernisation throughout, and quietly positioned in a most iconic and sought after road in unspoilt Alverstoke with views over the Solent.

With large, bright rooms, over 3500 square feet of accommodation in the main house, ancillary accommodation in the old coach house, and with views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight, this marvelous house offers boundless potential to restore internally to match the elegant façade.

The main house is arranged over 5 floors, ensuring it offers the new owner ample scope to adapt the already impressive accommodation to their needs. From a practical perspective, the house ticks many boxes, with plenty of bedrooms and large reception rooms, as well as easy parking in the coach house/garage at the rear or in the street to the front. Character and period features abound including wide floorboards, sash windows, ornate cornicing, and shutters to many of the windows. One of the stand-out features is a wonderful original, elegant staircase which ties the principal floors together. The upper floors offer superb views over Stokes Bay towards the Isle of Wight.

The lower ground floor boasts three main rooms, with access at the rear via a small courtyard up to the garden, and to extensive external store rooms. At the front there is an external store, and steps lead up to garden level. The rear of the house on this floor has a kitchen and a bathroom while there is one large and one small reception at the front. On the ground floor the hallway leads through to a spacious sitting room at the front and a further reception room/bedroom (with en-suite WC) at the rear, while an extended area at the very back provides another bedroom and a shower room as well as utility/kitchen area. In keeping with tradition, the drawing room, a most welcoming and elegant space, is on the first floor at the front while the rear contains a dining room (another kitchen can be accessed from the rear half-landing). The second and third floors share six good bedrooms, two bathrooms and a W.C between them.

The pretty rear garden has a lawn flanked by flower beds and high brick walls on the borders. At the bottom of the garden, accessed via a service road, is a lovely old coach house, also in need of modernisation but providing many opportunities. The coach house has two ground floor spaces/garages and two first floor rooms, as well as a W.C. At the front of the main house, a mature front garden separates it from the street and on the other side there is a small, award-winning park.
