Situated in this much sought after, tree lined avenue in Hermitage, Emsworth, Treagust & Co are delighted to offer the opportunity to purchase this detached, and extended character home offering good sized accommodation throughout and being within walking distance of Emsworth town centre.

A side entrance opens into the hallway with tiled flooring which provides access to the sitting room featuring a wall mounted contemporary gas fire and a large double glazed window. The triple aspect dining/family room has patio doors leading to the recently landscaped rear garden and open plan access to the kitchen. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with a good range of cream wall and base units with granite work surfaces, two built in NEFF ovens, a five burner gas hob, NEFF dishwasher, and Khars engineered oak flooring which is carried through to the dining/family room.

There are three double bedrooms two with large south facing bay windows and one with delightful views over the rear garden.  The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite incorporating a paneled bath in addition to a large walk-in shower cubicle with Mira shower unit. A heated towel rail and newly fitted extractor fan also feature in this naturally well lit room.  The property benefits from recently fitted carpets throughout with good quality underlay, and a new Valliant boiler was installed in October 2013. Subject to planning permission being granted, there is clear potential to create additional bedroom accommodation and a bathroom by converting the loft space (Planning permission was granted in 2008 but has since expired - further details and viewing of the original plans is available upon request).
