6 bed detached house for sale

Mill Lane, Langstone PO9

An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire one of Langstone’s most distinctive private residences. Believed to date back to the mid-19th century, Coast & Country by Henry Adams are proud to offer Flint House; a substantial Victorian, six-bedroom detached family home of considerable architectural character, approaching 4,825 square feet of internal accommodation set within approximately half an acre, behind an iron electric gated entrance on one of the village’s most sought-after lanes.

The property’s period flint stone elevations, original proportions and depth of accommodation are immediately apparent, and whilst the house would benefit from some modernisation and cosmetic improvement, it is presented in perfectly habitable order and offers considerable scope both to reconfigure to current tastes and to create a truly exceptional family home of real distinction.

The principal reception is an impressive sitting room of 26’ x 25’10”, featuring an open fireplace and a glazed lantern roof - a room of genuine scale and character that lies at the heart of the house. Off it sits a small nook that could be a library, offering a quiet space that works well as a reading area

Three further reception rooms complete the ground floor arrangement: A formal dining room (19’11 x 16’3), a substantial snug (23’2 x 16’1) and a study (18’3 x 16’1) - all well-proportioned rooms that give the house a flexibility at a scale rarely found nearby. The kitchen and breakfast room offers a strong footprint with clear potential for open-plan extension or reconfiguration subject to necessary consents and complemented by a separate utility room and downstairs WC. A cellar provides useful additional storage beneath the house, although it’s half-height.

Climbing the grand staircase with ornate handrail and balustrades you will find six bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors. The two principal bedrooms on the first floor are both approaching 20 feet in length - bedroom one benefits from a dressing room off, lending it the feel of a proper principal suite. Bedroom two is equally well proportioned. Bedrooms three and four are comfortable doubles, with bedrooms five and six - both on the second floor being well suited to children or guests. Three bathrooms serve the upper floors, two of which are en suite.

From outside, the property is approached via electric iron gates leading to a substantial gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles, and a detached double garage. The grounds extend to approximately half an acre, laid predominantly to lawn and framed by mature trees and established shrubs. A mature Wisteria covers parts of the rear elevation, a particular feature of the house in season. External stores provide additional practical outbuilding space.
