Mole Cottage, High Street, Southampton, SO31 8DL

Situated in the very heart of the highly desirable Old Bursledon Conservation Area, this striking detached residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully designed contemporary home that perfectly combines architectural flair with exceptional energy efficiency.

Rebuilt by the current owners just two years ago, the home has been meticulously crafted to an outstanding specification throughout.

Extending to approximately 1,706 sq ft including the outbuilding, the thoughtfully designed accommodation centres around an impressive, curved hallway that creates a wonderful sense of flow and individuality.

The stunning dual aspect kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, offering an ideal entertaining space with views across the landscaped gardens and direct access to the impressive outdoor entertaining area.

This is further complemented by a separate utility room and guest cloakroom for added practicality.

A separate sitting room provides a cosy retreat, while vaulted ceilings throughout parts of the property enhance the feeling of space and natural light.

A cleverly integrated basement level provides an excellent bedroom suite, complete with its own en suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and private courtyard patio area, creating an ideal guest space, principal bedroom or secluded retreat.

The ground floor displays a further two bedrooms, one with luxury en-suite shower room.

The property has been constructed using passive house design principles, focusing on superior insulation, airtight construction and highly efficient ventilation systems.

This significantly reduces energy consumption for both heating and cooling, helping to lower running costs while providing a more sustainable way of living.

A sophisticated fresh air filtration and heat recovery ventilation system continuously supplies clean, filtered air throughout the home while extracting stale air and retaining heat.

This not only improves indoor air quality but also helps maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature all year round.

Further benefits include a 7.5 litre rainwater harvesting system fed from the pond, triple glazing, underfloor heating powered by an energy-efficient air source heat pump, and beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms across both floors.

Additional information Materials used in construction: Brick and tile roof.
