Please Note - The property includes two rooms (previously used as Bedrooms and a further bathroom) within the converted loft space. We understand the conversion is historic (circa mid 1970's); however, the seller is unable to provide planning permission or Building Regulations documentation relating to the conversion. Buyers requiring mortgage finance should make their lender aware of this prior to bidding and satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the property for their particular lending requirements.

This semi-detached home on Arundel Drive that offers flexible, well-proportioned space spread across three floors, in a location that makes everyday life easy. Whether you are a growing family looking for room to spread out, a first-time buyer, or someone downsizing, this one is worth a look.

On the ground floor, the heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that runs across the full width of the property. The kitchen has white shaker-style units with dark worktops, a built-in gas hob and oven, and plenty of space for the usual utility appliances. Skylights pull natural light into the space throughout the day, and the room flows comfortably into the dining and family space beyond. The spacious living room sits separately at the front of the house with a large picture window that looks out over the tiered front garden. The main focal point of the room is the feature fireplace.

The main bedroom sits on the first floor at the rear, a spacious double with full-width built-in wardrobes. On the second floor, there is a generous loft room at the rear, again with built-in wardrobes, plus a smaller room that works well as a home office. The first floor has a recently refitted shower suite with a large sliding glass enclosure, vanity unit and chrome heated towel rail, while the second floor has a functional shower room of its own. Having facilities on both floors makes busy mornings considerably more manageable.

Outside, the rear garden is well-maintained and gets afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant spot from after lunch right through to the end of the day. The separate workshop measures over 11 ft wide, is a real bonus for anyone with a hobby or simply the need for useful outdoor storage. The tiered front garden catches the morning sun and the driveway provides parking for three cars. Generous single garage over 6 metres in length.

The location is one of the most practical in Fareham. Uplands Primary School is just a short walk away and Cams School is within easy reach. Fareham station is under a mile from the door, putting Southampton and Portsmouth both within straightforward commuting distance.
