16 St Georges Avenue Warblington, Havant, Hampshire

16 St Georges AvenueA traditional style Edwardian family home which offers extensive living space of about 2,270sq ft currently arranged as four reception rooms, a 30’ kitchen/family room with wall-to-wall windows and patio doors overlooking the garden making this a very light and pleasant family space, utility room and cloakroom. The upper floor provides four bedrooms, family bathroom and separate WC. In addition there is a very useful ground floor annexe created by the current owners, incorporating a reception room and a bedroom with ensuite shower room. The annexe benefits from its own entrances to both the front and rear of the house, and therefore suitable for independent use. The layout also allows for the annexe rooms to be incorporated into the living space of the main house if so desired. The property stands in a excellent sized plot with an extensive gravelled frontage and a private enclosed rear garden. The heated outdoor pool and large decked terrace are ideal for families and for entertaining. Views of the gardens can be enjoyed from the family kitchen/dining area and the annexe rooms. Much of the original charm and character of its period has been retained such as fireplaces, moulded ceilings and architraves, picture rails, deep skirting boards, panelled doors and stained glass windows.

St Georges Avenue is located in the well-regarded residential area of Warblington. The pretty Harbour town town of Emsworth is within a mile and Havant town centre amenities are about 1 mile away and there is excellent road access to the larger centres of Portsmouth, Petersfield and Chichester. Commuting is made easier with the mainline station being a few minutes’ walk from the property. Warblington School a mixed comprehensive for 11-16 year olds, is a few minutes away on Southleigh Road. For recreation there is a Lawn Tennis and Squash Club and the waterside is close by.
