5 bed detached house for sale

St. Catherines Road, Hayling Island, Hampshire PO11

A substantial detached family home situated in a very pleasant and leafy residential area, close to the beach, sailing clubs, golf club and village centre.

Believed to date from the 1970's the house has been substantially extended and could easily provide independent annexed accommodation in the extension. The main house has 5 double bedrooms, and the study and office along with the utility room in the annexe could provide comfortable ground floor accommodation for dependent relatives.

The house could benefit from some upgrading but would provide excellent family accommodation in a lovely location.
