About
An exceptional five-bedroom family home offering versatile living across three floors, ideally positioned within the catchments of Knightwood and Thornden schools.
This substantial detached residence, constructed in 2002, delivers the space and flexibility that growing families demand.
Arranged over three well-planned floors, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to balance everyday practicality with room to breathe.
The ground floor centres on a stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room - the natural hub of family life.
Whether preparing weekday meals or hosting weekend gatherings, this contemporary space brings everyone together.
The separate reception room provides additional flexibility: A quieter spot for homework, a playroom for younger children, or a formal sitting room when the occasion calls for it.
Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from a generous walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, offering parents a well-deserved retreat.
Four further bedrooms - spread across the first and second floors - provide ample space for children, guests, or a dedicated home office.
Three bathrooms ensure the morning routine runs smoothly, even in the busiest of households.
Parking is plentiful, with space for up to three vehicles plus a double garage with electric door - a genuine advantage for families juggling school runs, sports clubs and visiting grandparents.
Merlin Way enjoys a highly sought-after position within the catchment areas for both Knightwood Primary and Thornden Secondary schools, making it an immediate draw for education conscious families.
Chandler's Ford itself offers excellent local amenities, green spaces and swift access to Southampton, Winchester and the motorway network.
