House with fascinating mix of doubled up features

Station Road in Drayton doesn’t actually have a station anywhere along it any more but it does have one very good reason why you should stop off there.

And a bit like that other mode of transport, buses, it’s a house where you’ll experience two things coming along at once – two en-suite bedrooms, two reception rooms, and two conservatories.

Not only that, but it looks fascinating from the road thanks to the two bow windows in the front wall that have an eyebrow-effect rendered and painted decorative course in the pebble dash wall crowned by another window with a stylised shield-shape surround.

If you’re one of those who likes making a grand entrance, there’s also a horseshoe-shaped in – out driveway, so it’s a property that has two entrances as well!

There’s only one kitchen but it has more cupboard doors than you might want to count – certainly more than two! It’s augmented by a utility so the house has copious working space. On the first floor there are two further bedrooms with a shower room set between them.

“This is certainly a very appealing property, with plenty of space and a very versatile layout,” says Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern estate agents. It would be easy to expand the living space into one of the ground floor bedrooms or take one of the upper bedrooms as a study.

“But there’s a huge amount of living space as it is, with generous dining and sitting rooms plus those two conservatories.

“The westerly facing rear garden has flower beds and mature fruit trees and a pathway leading to primary garden. Directly to the rear of the property is a curved brick paved area providing access to the utility and two conservatories. To the right hand side of the property is a gateway leading to the front raised area with decking, mature shrubs, and evergreens. The garden extends approximately 80 ft in depth from the rear of the property by 58 ft in width. Gaps in the fruit trees lead to a further lawn with a greenhouse, mature trees, evergreens, and bushes.

“The property is just a short step from the main Drayton shopping area in Havant Road and has ready access to the roads system and the slopes of Portsdown Hill. The area is also well served by well-regarded schools.”

Guide price is £550,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk
