No need for Monopoly money to buy Kensington!

When it was mooted the properties should be shuffled on the Monopoly board, what was nominated to take the prime spot away from Mayfair?

The answer was Kensington, perhaps the prime spot for property in the whole of the UK. Now maybe it’s time to let a little Kensington into your life, too, although you won’t need Monopoly money to pay for it.

You can achieve this life-changing situation by purchasing a house in Kensington Road, Copnor. It’s a three bedroom centre of terrace home set back behind a decorative brick wall and courtyard and enhanced by a single storey bay window that increase space for the sitting room.

Dating back more than 100 years, it’s a house that hasn’t stayed stuck in the past, however. While it retains the separate living and dining rooms that helped preserve the “front parlour” to impress visitors, the dining room now opens into a fully modernised kitchen with appealing wood-fronted units, a double oven at eye level, inset four ring gas hob, island unit with inset sink, and, essential for busy families, washing machine and dishwasher points.

The dining room has a door onto the rear terrace, a perfect place to unwind after a busy day or at weekends. The whole space, 50 feet in depth, is designed for an easy life with a step up to a raised decked seating area.

It means you can rest easy at night without worrying about finding time to mow the lawn, and with its three bedrooms this is a house that has good family sleeping space. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a spa bath, tiled floor, and fully ceramic-tiled walls.

Importantly, the house is within easy access of local shopping amenities, bus routes, recreation grounds, Copnor Primary School, and Admiral Lord Nelson School.
