About
A beautifully presented Victorian cottage that has been sympathetically renovated and thoughtfully extended, tucked away on one of the area’s most sought-after roads and ideally positioned for both Romsey and Stockbridge.
The accommodation is impressively flexible. The first floor features two generous double bedrooms, a charming snug and an elegant four-piece family bathroom.
On the ground floor, a further bedroom benefits from an en-suite, alongside a cosy sitting room, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room flowing into a dining area, and a superb family room with bi-folding doors opening onto a secluded courtyard.
A studio or potential fourth bedroom, utility room and ground floor WC complete the layout. Outside, the property enjoys private gardens and a driveway providing parking for several vehicles.
Ground Floor The entrance hallway immediately sets the tone for this charming home, rich in character while offering wonderfully flexible living space.
To the front of the property, the sitting room features a wood-burning stove as a central focal point, a bay window overlooking the front aspect, and stairs rising to the first floor.
A door leads through to a sun room with doors opening onto the garden, while a further door provides access to a study/utility room.
This in turn links to the ground floor bedroom or studio and, given its size and layout, offers excellent potential to create a self-contained annexe, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
An inner hallway provides access to an additional ground floor bedroom, complete with built-in wardrobe and an en-suite comprising a WC, wash basin and walk-in shower.
To the rear of the home lies the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers and integrated appliances including a Bosch chest-height double oven, Bosch induction hob and Bosch dishwasher.
There is space for an American-style fridge/freezer, along with a fitted breakfast bar. The kitchen opens seamlessly into the dining room, creating an ideal space for entertaining and family life.
The dining room enjoys views over the rear garden, with excellent natural light and ample space for a dining suite.
Completing the ground floor, the family room offers a versatile second sitting room, reading room or home office, featuring a roof lantern that floods the space with light and bi-folding doors opening onto a private courtyard garden.
First Floor The first floor landing opens into a snug area, offering a versatile space ideal for use as a study, bedroom area for occasional guests or a reading nook that overlooks the rear garden and benefits from built-in storage.
Bedroom one is a generous double room featuring built-in-wardrobes, a pleasant dual aspect and a wash basin. Bedroom two is a further double bedroom, also enjoying the benefit of a built-in wardrobe.
The family bathroom is fitted with a stylish white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin, bath with shower over, heated towel rail and fitted storage.
Outside The private rear garden features shingle terraces adjoining the rear of the property, with steps leading up to a raised lawn and a decked seating area, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Side access leads through to the front of the home. In addition, a separate courtyard garden is accessed from the family room, enjoying a southerly aspect and an excellent degree of privacy.
