Haflinger Drive, Whiteley

This is truly a hidden gem of Whiteley; you would just not realise this substantial five-bedroom detached home was here. Tucked in this corner of this established, popular, and conveniently located cul-de-sac, with the most unusual feature of a plot extending in excess of one third of an acre. In an elevated position, it has far reaching views to the rear, with the woodland view in the distance when sitting on the substantial rear patio you could be forgiven for thinking you were sitting in a semi-rural location. Although originally constructed by a large national developer, they took the time and forethought to create a one-off design to take full advantage of this oversized plot. It has since been further extended and now boasts a gigantic footprint of living accommodation over two floors more than 2400 sq.ft. Presented in what can only be described as 'show-home' condition, the versatile layout includes on the ground floor, four separate reception rooms, a generous kitchen/dining room, with separate utility, large oblong conservatory with glass roof, and downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, four of which have built in wardrobes, the main and guest bedrooms also have their own ensuites, a well-appointed family bathroom serves the other bedrooms.

Externally the plot is evenly and usefully proportioned, it has its own driveway area and tuning bay, which would provide enough parking for the largest of families; in addition, there is an attached double garage. Access is available to both sides of the house leading to the extraordinary rear garden, where you will find a superb full width raised patio area across the entire width of the house, this provides a great recreational socialising space, with amazing views. There are steps leading to a larger flat area of lawn, large enough for any game of football, but has well stocked shrub borders. To the side of the property there is a large garden workshop, enough space for the keenest of DIY enthusiasts. Along the line of the entire front boundary, the current owners have used the contours of the land to create a charming woodland trail, this garden would make an amazing and safe adventure backdrop for any growing family children.

As a general location, Haflinger Drive is a short drive or fifteen minutes-walk from the highly regarded Whiteley shopping centre, with its excellent collection of high street names, in both retail or gastronomy. Park Gate village and all it has to offer is equi-distant in the opposite direction with a further choice of facilities. For the daily commuter Junction 9 of the M27 Motorway is minutes away, Swanwick rail station is within easy walking distance, which via Fareham (one stop East) offers direct routes to London Waterloo.

Rarely does a house with such a complete, hard to beat package become available, it offers such privacy but within close proximity to all of the local facilitates and amenities, you would need to live as a family on a day-to-day basis. Call SBK today to arrange a viewing appointment.
