The last time “royalty” became a feature of the Cosham property market there was a battle royal between buyers to win succession to ownership.

That battle involved two “king” properties, those with a double height bay set under a decorative gable in the six house terraces familiar in the area.

Now Town and Country Southern estate agents is offering a “queen” style house, which has a double height square bay but not the gable, in Edgerly Gardens.

“This is a great opportunity for those who want to get on with a purchase and move in quickly,” says Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern.

“There is no onward chain to complicate the process so this house might really appeal to first time buyers or those moving out of rented accommodation when they find the house that’s perfect for them.

“There can be no question that this house has real family appeal. It has a living room set behind the downstairs bay and from this room folding doors lead into the dining room behind, giving the opportunity to join the rooms or separate them at any time.

“At the rear of the dining room is a door to the kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of storage units and a good amount of work surface. There is appliance space and a breakfast space at the rear, where a door opens into the garden.

“The first floor has two double bedrooms and a single, served by a family bathroom that’s complemented by a downstairs cloakroom. Period fittings such as picture rails and panel doors add real appeal throughout the house.

“The front has a useful off-road parking area for two cars, allowing a view of the almost circular porch opening to the front door and the decorative tile-hung bay. The rear garden is totally enclosed, making a great and safe play area for children.

“With good schools, shops, and bus routes nearby, this is a home that many families will consider ideal.”

Guide price is £255,000 (EPC Band E). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk<
