Wade Court Estate, Wade Lane, Havant, PO9

Situated in an idyllic location in Wade Court Park part of the Wade Court Estate close to Chichester Harbour foreshore, a charming 2/3-bedroom cottage set in wonderful private, mature grounds.

DESCRIPTION:

The Cottage, which forms part of Wade Court House, dates back to the 17th century and has been altered and enlarged since the turn of the century when the tower was constructed, and the property converted into a substantial County House. In the early 1950s the house was divided into three separate properties and at this time The Cottage, which was formerly the gardener’s cottage, became a separate dwelling.

The Cottage which retains many original features including parquet wood flooring and leaded windows, is approached via a gravelled drive with parking and turning area. A part glazed front door leads to a spacious entrance hall with stairs to a useful triple aspect bedroom/loft room and doors to the cloakroom and sitting room. An opening leads to an inner hall off which is the master bedroom which is double aspect with a large south facing bay window, a second bedroom with fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom.

The sitting room, which has a large bay window with fitted seat, feature fireplace with fitted open fire and shelved alcove to one side leads to the dining room which has a large walk-in pantry/store cupboard and a glazed bay window overlooking an inner courtyard. A door leads to a light, bright galley kitchen which comprises a range of base units, inset steel stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for appliances, fitted electric oven with hob over and glazed door to courtyard.

Adjacent to the property and accessed from the driveway is a separate brick-built barn and summer house comprising a large open plan room with a part glazed conservatory with double doors opening onto the terrace and garden with door leading to a shower room. The main garden lies to the south of the barn/summerhouse being laid to lawn with two ponds and a superb range of mature trees and shrubs providing a good degree of privacy.
