It’s not unusual for families to think big when they search for a new home.

Sometimes it’s because they see investment value in upsizing but for others extra space becomes a necessity, for instance where a family consists has several children or more than one generation lives together.

In either set of circumstances, a house that should be big enough for most has come onto the market in London Road, Cosham. The detached property, set in an elevated position, has six bedrooms, one en-suite, set out across the two upper floors, each of which has a family-sized bathroom.

Equally important, the property also has plenty of ground floor living space with a sitting room measuring 12 ft by almost 26 ft and impressively large separate dining room which is enhanced by a square bay window, as is the master suite above.

At the rear of the entrance hall is a cloakroom while behind the dining room is a well-planned kitchen that opens into a conservatory. There’s also an attached single garage alongside the rear garden, which has a large paved patio and artificial grass area for easy maintenance. At the front, the driveway rises towards the house – beside the drive is a level lawn above a retaining wall.

The area is well served by good schools, shops, and bus and commuting routes, helping make daily family life much easier.

Guide price is £500,000 (EPC Band E). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
