Horndean, Waterlooville, PO8

Situated at the very heart of Horndean village, this recently renovated and redecorated idyllic four-bedroom period property proudly boasts a wealth of history and character throughout. Welcoming you in through its striking red door, this property has been home to many historic war heroes, including Vice-Admiral Leggett in the late 1930s, and was the first house to be lit by electricity in 1904 ('A History of Waterlooville Havant Borough History Booklet No. 56'). The name Melton House warmly derives from the Melton fabric used in the hunting tweeds tailored for the gentry of the era, and the name still proudly adorns the entryway. The property comprises spacious and sunlit entry way with original Georgian mahogany panelling and matching wooden flooring, exposed brickwork featured through the house, and continues into three reception rooms. On the left is a bijou study with adjoining WC and utility room with space for a washer/dryer. To the right, a warmly decorated dining room ideal for hosting or dining with family. Directly onwards boasts a generously proportioned lounge with an Inglenook fireplace for cosy winter nights in front of the fire, featuring large double doors leading out onto the garden patio. Following round you enter the family kitchen, equipped with gas range cooker, dishwasher, larder, and space for double fridge-freezer. Tucked away is the entrance to a generous cellar for additional storage needs. Continuing upstairs, Melton House features three good sized double bedrooms with the principle featuring an ensuite shower room, and one further single bedroom with integrated storage. To the rear is a large, enclosed walled garden which houses a gated driveway, workshop with ample storage, and charming summer house for warm, peaceful evenings. Additional benefits include double glazed windows, gas central heating with recently replaced boiler and radiators, underfloor heating to some roofs, and off-street parking.
