When you’re looking for the seemingly impossible in the property market it always pays to look on the sunny side.

Or, in this instance, to look at Sunnyside, an appealing home at Southwick Road, Denmead, which seems to draw together the impossible combination of 30s style, rural location, updated interior, and convenient access to shops and schools.

What’s not to like as far as families are concerned?

“Absolutely nothing,” is the reply from Colin Shairp at Town and Country Southern estate agents.

“This house is now right up to date for 21st Century family life and is perfectly placed for those who like the great outdoors.

“Apart from its 115 ft garden with a summer house, the property is probably a mile at most from the boundaries of the South Downs National Park, an area stretching from Winchester to the south coast at Eastbourne and containing mile after mile of glorious downland as well as some very appealing villages that make great destinations for trips out.

“Of course, you can’t be out and about all the time and the house is ready and waiting – complete with a new boiler just installed to make sure there’s a warm welcome at any time of year.

“The ground floor bay is the window on the world for the separate sitting room and behind this is a dining / family room with an opening at one side into the kitchen, which has country-style units and a two oven range cooker. There’s also a utility to enhance the workspace as well as a rear lobby leading to the garden with a cloakroom to one side.

“The stairs have a split level landing with a door to the family bathroom, now equipped with both a bath and a corner shower cubicle.

“The main landing continues to give access to the four bedrooms, one of which has a corner desk unit to give it an alternative use as a study. The two largest bedrooms have retained their ornate fireplaces to give a pleasing period look.

“Privacy is enhanced because the house is set back from the road by about 60 ft, allowing for a long gravel driveway with plenty of parking. The garage has an up and over door at the front with further double doors at the rear for access to the garden with its lawn, patio (accessed via French doors from the family room), decked seating area and summer house.”

Guide price is £390,000 (EPC Band E). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk
