Here’s a house that stands head and shoulders among most of the rest.

The property, in Solent Road at Drayton, stands out for far more than its views, too, although with an outlook from the master bedroom towards Langstone Harbour and Hayling Island these are pretty spectacular.

For busy families, what sets a house above the opposition is its ability to allow an easy life. This property is within the catchments of both Solent and Springfield Schools – and Solent school is literally just across the road!

Havant Road, with its excellent local shops, is within walking distance and there’s also ready access to the road and rail networks.

Not far in the opposite direction are the wide open green slopes of Portsdown Hill, the gateway to the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park to the north.

The house has excellent accommodation over two floors and provides more than 1,316 sq ft of living space. The ground floor has a hallway, sitting room, dining room, fitted kitchen, cloakroom and utility room while upstairs there are three bedrooms and large bathroom.

Attractive square bay windows enhance the sitting room and master bedroom while connected to the dining room via an archway is a splendidly refitted kitchen with a breakfast bar along one wall.

Guide price is £425,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
