Anglesey Road, Alverstoke

Brodrick House is an imposing and handsome Edwardian residence built in 1905 and is currently a much-loved family home owned by client for twenty six years. During my clients time of ownership this wonderful house has been beautifully looked after and maintained and offers 2,342 square feet of accommodation.

The front elevation is very striking with a mature frontage of flowering shrub borders, trees and lawn. A terracotta tiled path leads to the original front door which draws you into the Entrance Hall. Immediately on entering the house, the wealth of period features are apparent with gloriously high ceilings, skirtings, ornate cornicing, picture rails and marble fireplaces running through the house. There are four reception rooms and the Drawing Room is grand and gracious centring on a white marble fireplace with a woodburning stove; the Dining Room is equally well proportioned with a striking black marble fireplace with azure blue tiles. The generous Breakfast Room has tall original fitted cupboards and a large pine dresser and a doorway leads into the Kitchen; these rooms could easily be combined together. The Kitchen has been fitted with ample wooden cupboards with a range of appliances included; a door leads into the garden. A traditional Cloakroom and a Utility Room complete the ground floor. The beautiful original staircase with mahogany handrail leads to the first floor where there are four large double bedrooms, Bedroom 1 benefits from a traditional ensuite bathroom with a roll top bath and Bedroom 2 has an adjacent Dressing Room which could be converted into another ensuite bathroom. There is a further Shower Room with walk in shower, wash hand basin with vanity units and back lit mirror. There is further potential to convert the roof space into two further bedrooms and a bathroom, subject to the necessary consents. Outside, the back garden is framed by mature trees and flowering shrub borders. At the end of the garden is a large wooden shed and driveway parking for two cars, enclosed by double wooden gates.

This really is an exciting opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding residence situated in a prime location a short distance from Stokes Bay and the village amenities.
