There’s a quaint-looking house for sale in Farlington with a very distinctive raised eyebrow window in its roof.

But the house, The Cloisters, in Beverley Grove, is also likely to raise a few eyebrows when potential buyers take the opportunity to view it because there’s much more to it than initially meets the eye.

The angled front porch shields a front door opening into a large hallway with the fourth bedroom / study on the right and the third bedroom, set behind a bay window, on the left, next to a shower room.

But take a few steps along the hall and you’re met by two doors. That on the right opens into a living room while that on the left provides access to the beautifully fitted kitchen. An arch then links the kitchen to the dining room where double doors at the end connect with the family / morning room.

Further double doors connect the dining and living rooms, the latter with French windows in glazed side panels that open onto the terrace, which is also accessed via bi-fold doors from the family room.

Set behind the eyebrow window is a landing serving two bedrooms and a further shower room – both these bedrooms enjoy a fantastic outlook towards Chichester Cathedral spire, Langstone Harbour, and Hayling Island.

“The beauty of this house is that its elevated position has the backdrop of most of those views from the rear downstairs rooms, the terrace, and garden,” says Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern estate agents.

“It’s a fantastic family house even without those views. With its extensive accommodation and huge gravelled parking area at the front, extending along the side of the house to the garage at the rear, car enthusiasts or families with older children will find it gives room for all without the need for all those fantastic reversing manoeuvres from the Butterflies comedy series that stick in the minds of so many people.

“The house is only a few minutes’ walk from Portsdown Hill and within the catchment for Springfield and Solent Road Schools.”

Guide price is £520,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
