Fairview Cottage, Southampton Road, Southampton, SO40 2NF

Fairview Cottage is a delightful period property, set in a desirable position in the village of Cadnam, surrounded by beautiful New Forest countryside.

Originally forming part of the Warrens Estate and dating from 1903, the cottage was subject to a recent complete renovation, installing stylish fittings and high-spec, energy-efficient measures, while complementing the original character and charm of the home.

On the ground floor, comfortable reception rooms combine with a social kitchen and breakfast room in a semi open-plan layout, while a separate family room provides peaceful space in which to relax, with its French doors and adjoining shower room (making it ideal for use as a guest bedroom).

Towards the front, the sitting room features a restored fireplace fitted with an electric logburner, while the dining room has a brick-built fireplace with a reclaimed oak lintel.

The airy kitchen and breakfast room opens to the rear gardens via French doors, has bespoke fitted units and a central island, 20mm Polaris Marble Quartz worktops and premium integrated appliances, including a Neff hob and dishwasher and a Lamona fridge-freezer and extractor.

A hidden bookshelf door connects the breakfast area to the family room. The utility room provides further built-in storage, as well as integrated laundry appliances and underfloor heating.

The first floor provides three beautifully presented double bedrooms, each of which has built-in storage.

Upstairs, there is also a family bathroom with a luxury, modern suite, featuring a bathtub, a separate walk-in rainfall shower, a touchscreen LED mirror and an Addvent extractor fan.

Contemporary fittings and technological features include underfloor heating to the dining room and kitchen, premium sash-style windows, a complete refit of all plumbing, a full rewire, exterior sensor lights, a floodlit Ring camera and external power sockets.
