Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY 'Pond Cottage' is no average cottage, it is a unique three bedroom detached residence which sits back proudly from the River Hamble but captures the benefits of being in a village environment, yet adjacent to Southampton Water, the River Hamble and the Marina. The layout of the accommodation is not traditional as it has been designed with much consideration in order to take advantage of the stunning waterfront views, natural light and to embrace modern living with a feature vaulted ceiling and 1,400 sq ft of living space. Designed for low maintenance and ease of living there is an attractive mix of contemporary fixtures and fittings alongside traditional materials which combine together to create a home with a difference. The three bedrooms, utility room, shower room and en-suite bathroom are located on the ground floor, with the 30' living area, which opens to a separate study area, cloakroom and a well fitted kitchen are all on the first floor. From this level there are three sets of double doors opening to Juliette balconies, all of which have glorious views across the river and marina. Being located on the eastern bank with the village of Hamble and its marina opposite, the two villages are connected by a ferry which was once an important link between the primary cities of Portsmouth and Southampton. Warsash is a popular village with the centre being only a short walk away and a variety of local amenities, within the village there is a prolific sailing club and two club houses with the Warsash Heritage Centre nearby, it is also home to the Warsash Marine Academy. With no forward chain, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
