One further bedroom at the rear has sliding glass doors opening onto the gardens, while another bedroom has a door providing side access. The ground floor has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit, as well as a shower room. An additional shower room on the first floor completes the accommodation.

At the front of the house, the paved driveway provides parking space for several vehicles. The integrated garage provides useful storage, while there is also a carport or shelter providing further parking space as well as an additional boat and bicycle store.
The gardens are mostly to the side and rear, and feature areas of lawn, dotted and bordered by mature hedgerows and various shrubs, flowering perennials and trees.
The gardens back directly onto the tranquil waters of Sandy Point’s natural harbour, and are protected by the recently built flood defences. The roof terrace provides additional space for relaxing and al fresco dining, as well as those incredible waterside views.

The property occupies a secluded position on the south-eastern tip of Hayling Island, overlooking the natural open waters of Chichester Harbour.

Hayling Island Sailing Club, a rya Centre of Excellence and Olympic training centre is in close proximity, and Sparkes Marina is also conveniently placed nearby.

Hayling Island has always been a particularly popular location for water enthusiasts; indeed the sport of windsurfing is believed to have originated here some 50 years ago. There are about 3 miles of seafront beaches as well as tennis courts and, to the west, the Hayling Island Golf club.

The 4 mile long ‘Hayling Billy’ coastal path has two tracks, offering different paths for horse riders on one side and pedestrians and cyclists on the other. The path runs along the western coast of most of the island and offers some stunning views of Langstone Harbour.

The connected south island villages of Eastoke, Mengham, South Hayling and West Town provide a wealth of everyday amenities including local shops, restaurants, cafés and supermarkets.

There are also primary schools in the area, and one state secondary school on the island.

Havant is just a short drive away on the mainland, with a wider choice of shopping, supermarkets and leisure facilities.

The area is well connected, with the A27 nearby leading to the A3(M) and M27. Havant mainline station, seven miles away, offers services to London Waterloo, taking approximately an hour and a quarter.

The setting is ideal for enjoying the great outdoors, with sailing in the estuary and beautiful beaches in the south of the island.
