Monks Way, Hill Head

Situated in one of the most prestigious locations within Hill Head and with its uniquely wide aspect and stunning panoramic views across the Solent and beyond to the Isle of Wight, a much-loved home dating back to 1956, owned by my clients since 2009. This is a truly exciting opportunity to acquire a wonderful property which has been beautifully maintained by my clients offering versatile accommodation extending to 2228 square feet. The property is set back from the road and is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, flanked on both sides by mature hedges, leading to the garage. A glazed porch leads into the gracious Entrance Hall with beautiful original oak flooring, all further accommodation leads off this room; the Sitting Room to the rear is well proportioned and features a brick Arts and Crafts fireplace, oak flooring and a wide bay window affording views over the sea. Double doors lead from the Sitting Room into the large conservatory stretching across the back of the house providing a generous space in which to entertain and relax with friends and family. The adjacent Kitchen/Breakfast Room has been fitted with ample contemporary matt grey cupboards with a range of appliances included; a doorway leads off this room into the dual aspect Dining Room, again with oak flooring and an Arts and Crafts fireplace; from the Dining Room another doorway leads into the Entrance Hall. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor with complimentary bathroom suites, plus Cloakroom; Bedroom 1 in particular is a sophisticated room with a delightful seating area with picture windows showcasing the incredible views. Upstairs is a further double bedroom which currently doubles as a Study giving views over the garden and Solent. Outside, the plot can truly be appreciated as it fans out giving views to the east as far as Spithead and to the west to Southampton Water. The garden is largely low maintenance with mature hydrangeas and shrubs, a stunning swimming pool, large sun terrace and glass encased pergola, perfect for the windier days. Additionally, there is a two car tandem garage and workshop.

Hill Head is one of the region’s most sought-after locations, offering two sailing clubs, beach and nature reserve. The area is ideal for those with an affinity with the water with The Solent offering excellent sailing facilities. Nature lovers will also not be disappointed as Titchfield Haven offers some beautiful countryside walks. A convenience store is close and other local amenities can be found at nearby Stubbington village, with more comprehensive facilities at Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton. For commuters, rail links can be found at Fareham to Waterloo and Victoria, Southampton and Portsmouth; and Southampton Parkway to Waterloo in just over an hour. Hill Head also adjoins Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve covering some 369 acres of the Lower Meon Valley where one can enjoy a relaxing walk and see a variety of wetland habitats containing a wealth of wildlife.
