7 bed detached house for sale

Hoads Wood Road, Hastings TN34

Summary
Believed to be one of the earliest homes constructed on Hoads Wood Road, dating back to circa 1870, this substantial seven-bedroom semi-detached residence offers a truly exciting opportunity to acquire a home with an abundance of history, character and potential.

Description
Occupying a generous and private plot in the highly regarded St Helens area of Hastings, this fascinating period property is a home of considerable proportions and individuality. While now requiring modernisation and sympathetic restoration, it offers the discerning purchaser the chance to breathe new life into a historic residence and create a wonderful family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and requirements. Arranged over two main floors, with the added benefit of a distinctive turret room, the property offers an impressive amount of accommodation and an unusually versatile layout. On entering the ground floor, the scale of the accommodation becomes immediately apparent. A vast and open arrangement provides a wonderful sense of space, with the principal living room forming an impressive centrepiece. This generous reception space retains a wealth of period charm, including original features and a large sash window which provides an abundance of natural light and adds to the room's character. A separate kitchen and dining area offer ample scope to create a fantastic modern family kitchen and entertaining space, while a connecting glazed corridor which incorporates the back door allowing access from the outside leads through to a useful utility area, large double garage and workshop. The combination of these practical spaces provides excellent potential for both everyday family life and those requiring substantial storage, workspace or garaging.

Extra Description
Adding to the flexibility are three generous extra receptions on the ground floor. One of which had been historically used as a bedroom including integral washroom and shower. These well-proportioned rooms could comfortably accommodate family members or guests, while offering the versatility to be transformed into home offices, studios, hobby rooms, playrooms or additional reception spaces if desired. The first floor continues with a further four bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, creating an impressive total of seven bedrooms. Such generous accommodation provides exceptional flexibility for a large or growing family and could equally lend itself to multigenerational living or those looking for generous space to work from home. Perhaps one of the property's most enchanting features is the characterful turret room, accessed from the first floor. The fashion for these Italianate towers was inspired by Osborne House, Queen Victoria's home on the Isle of Wight, designed for her by Prince Albert.
A wonderfully unusual addition to the house, this elevated space enjoys panoramic views across the surrounding area and offers a rare opportunity to create a peaceful retreat away from the main accommodation. Whether imagined as a study, reading room, creative space or simply somewhere to sit and enjoy the outlook, it is undoubtedly one of the home's most memorable features. Outside, the property continues to impress with a private plot incorporating an established garden, South facing patio, mature surroundings and a gated in and out driveway providing valuable off-road parking. Ample free on street parking is also accessible on the quiet road. The grounds offer a secluded setting and considerable scope for landscaping, entertaining and creating an attractive outdoor space to complement the home.
