PROPERTY SUMMARY Stoke House is located in Alverstoke, in the Borough of Gosport however it has a rural village feel, albeit within easy commutable distance of Gosport with its range of shops, ferry over to Old Portsmouth where the mainline railway station provides a regular service to London Waterloo. The extended property sits back from the road in an elevated position with a deep front garden, on the shoreline of Alverstoke salt water Lake. Alverstoke is a small hamlet in a conservation area and is approximately half a mile east of Stokes Bay shoreline, it is also very close to the historic Grade II St. Marys Church and village centre which has a variety of small shops, the Village Home public house, convenience store and post office as well as retaining the historic character with narrow streets. Queen Victoria is known to have stayed in the area when travelling to and from Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. In early 19th Century seaside towns became very fashionable with the building of fine townhouses, Georgian Crescents and in the 20th Century the building of individual houses such as Stoke House. Being located adjacent to the heart of the village yet within a few minutes' walk of the waterfront, it is also close to Alverstoke Infant School, sports facilities and the Stokes Bay Sailing club. Sitting in the central part of the 0.34 of an acre plot which features mature planning of multiple varieties of flora with large front and rear gardens, private gated driveway and double garage, there is also the potential (subject to planning) for further development for business or residential use (home office) within the grounds. This individual family home offers versatile accommodation which extends over the 3274 sq ft of living space arranged over two floors.

The accommodation comprises: entrance lobby, bedroom/study, sitting room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor is a shower room and three double bedrooms, the primary 24' bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom and a viewing area to the front which overlooks Alverstoke Lake, bedroom two has a separate dressing area. Offered with no forward chain and being located close to the conservation lake with its rare salt water flora and fauna, a safe haven for boating and canoeing, early internal viewing of this impressive detached home is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
