Attention! Time to get the family on Parade!

It’s time to get the family fell in and marching towards Hilsea.

There’s an opportunity that’s too good to miss especially if, like the old lady who lived in the shoe, you’ve got so many children you don’t know what to do.

New on the market is a property at Northern Parade where families will feel really at home. For a start it has five bedrooms and three bathrooms but on top of that, quite literally, is a second floor balcony that looks out across Alexandra Park and the Mountbatten Centre to Hilsea Lake and Portsdown Hill. Those, of course, provide plenty of play space for the aforementioned children (or an escape route for you!).

The house has retained a number of period features such as ceiling roses, coving, panelled doors, and high skirting boards but comes with modern refinements such as gas-fired central heating and a large and wonderfully equipped kitchen with double doors linking directly to the dining room.

At the front of the house is a large living room set behind a bay window while between this and the kitchen, alongside the dining room, is a family room. There is also a ground floor wet room, perfect for when the kids come home after hot or muddy sports.

The first floor has three double bedrooms served by a family bathroom while the second floor offers a bathroom and two more bedrooms, one a double and the other with a door out onto the balcony that crowns the front gable above the bay windows.

With the wonderful park across the road offering an extensive lawned area, the back garden is laid out for easy maintenance so is mainly paved with raised borders and rockery. At the end of the garden is a garage accessed from a service road off North End Grove.

“Families searching for a spacious home that’s also great value will look long and hard before they find a better choice than this,” says Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern estate agents.

“The house is beautifully presented and most buyers would feel they could move straight in, unpack, and start getting on with life. Better still, there is no onward chain which nearly always helps make the buying process more simple.”

Guide price is £375,000 (EPC Band C). For more information, contact Town and Country Southern on 023 93 277 288 or email sales@townandcountrysouthern.co.uk
