Finding a family home close to good schools can lead to a frustrating search.

So, if you have had your fill of fruitless viewings then here’s some good cheer; a family house with three bedrooms and a fantastic bonus room in the loft, in the catchments of both Springfield and Court Lane schools.

“It’s an excellent opportunity to acquire a home in Cosham, close to Portsmouth, with easy access to the countryside, and straightforward commuting thanks to the railway station and nearby main roads and motorway network,” says Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern.

“The house has a double height square bay with stone mullion windows and crowned by a gable. It has been extended to the rear to create a fabulous open plan kitchen / dining room with skylight windows doing a very good job of helping the French windows flood the space with light.

“With two further main reception rooms, the house has good ground floor living space.

“The kitchen is very comprehensively fitted with dazzling white-fronted wall and base units and there’s space for a double range cooker beneath a double width extractor.

“On the first floor there are the three bedrooms, four with built-in wardrobes, plus a family bathroom with a bath plus a separate shower cubicle.

“Stairs have very cleverly been accommodated next to the second bedroom and these lead up to a superb attic room that makes valuable extra living space – the perfect den for older children, perhaps.

“There is a walled front garden and side access to the rear garden is mainly lawn with its patio, lawn, and shrub borders. There is also a door into the garage, accessed via Hilary Avenue and Beaconsfield Avenue.”

Guide price is £325,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
