St. Marks Road, Alverstoke

Situated in one of the Premier roads within Alverstoke, a short stroll to Stoke’s Bay, a beautiful detached Victorian residence extending to nearly 3000 square feet. The configuration of the accommodation is such that it could easily be utilised as one dwelling with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 4 reception rooms or slightly separate, as a 2 bedroom self contained annexe if needed.

My clients successfully utilised the annexe as a B&B for over 10 years. The property was originally constructed in 1880 and has been occupied by my clients since 1995. During their period of ownership they have carried out various works to the property, the most recent being replacing the boiler in 2023 and adding an en-suite shower room to bedroom 1 in 2022. The property is approached via a wrought iron gate and railings with a path leading up to the beautiful entrance, surrounded by a mature and established stunning front garden with a magnificent magnolia tree. As soon as you enter the property the space is immediately apparent with gloriously high ceilings and an abundance of character features. There are 3 reception rooms to the main house; the sitting room has a bay window to the front elevation and centres on an open fireplace flanked by low-level cupboards with shelves over; the dining room has a glazed door and panel to the side elevation whilst the study has a complete wall of shelving fitted. The kitchen has ample cupboards with wooden worktops, double Butler's sink and range of appliances. Upstairs are 3 substantial double bedrooms, all with feature fireplaces. Bedroom 1 also benefits from a bank of wardrobe cupboards and a stunning en-suite shower room. There is also a large family bathroom. The annexe side has its own separate staircase leading to a further 2 bedrooms, 1 of which is substantial in size, and 1 bathroom. There is a separate shower room and toilet downstairs and a lovely sitting room with double doors opening to the delightful gardens. There is an adjacent utility room which could be used as the annexe kitchen with some appliances added. The gardens are beautifully maintained to both front and rear with an abundance of mature and established borders. There is a large terrace immediately adjacent to the rear of the property, which is walled with gorgeous climbing roses and vines, pear and a golden plum tree. Double doors lead to a tandem garage with parking in front.
