Introduction
This elegant home is centred upon a stunning kitchen living room, beautifully fitted with bifold doors to the gardens and retains many period features such as a brick fireplace, high ceilings and oak doors fused with contemporary living including underfloor heating and luxurious bathroom suites.

The property is positioned on a popular lane on the fringes of Romsey centre and enjoys landscaped gardens offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion with generous parking and a substantial double garage. The property has undergone a total refurbishment programme by our clients and now provides fully modernised accommodation yet retaining a traditional feel making this a real gem of a town centre home with a host of impressive features.  

Description
A pretty oak framed porch with solid oak door leads to the entrance hall which hosts an understairs storage cupboard and a traditional styled cloakroom with a Burlington sink. There is oak flooring to the hallway and underfloor heating to the ground floor reception areas. A door leads to the delightful sitting room with double doors to the garden and is centred upon a feature brick fireplace with herringbone brick work, oak mantle, stone hearth and inset woodburning stove. The kitchen living room is exquisite, substantial and beautifully equipped with an extensive range of eye and base level, soft close units and ample granite worktops. The central island offers both workspace and an ideal social/dining venue with 'pull up' electric sockets and USB channel. An oak mantle cooking frame hosts a Rangemaster five burner three oven stove and further appliances include integrated Neff dishwasher and Neff microwave with washing machine and fridge freezer. The kitchen is dual in aspect with trifold doors opening out onto the sun terrace from the ceramic tiled floors with underfloor heating, offering ideal afternoon and evening sunshine allowing bright accommodation.

There are many attractive features throughout with oak effect doors and crackle glazed handles maintaining a traditional feel. The ground floor is completed by the family room which can be easily utilised as a study, play room or formal dining room. The landing hosts access to four large bedrooms, the master of which is impressive in size and features a stunning ensuite shower room comprising a double walk in shower with glass screen, cloud head shower spray and a Heritage bathroom suite amongst attractive tiling. Three further bedrooms are serviced by the stylish family bathroom, again equipped with a Heritage suite comprising L shaped bath with shower over, recessed shelving, pedestal wash hand basin and low level WC.

Outside
The property is screened from the road via mature laurel hedging and is approached via brick pillared access to a tarmacadam driveway culminating in a broad gravelled turning area fronting the double garage which offers power, lighting and courtesy door to the rear garden. There is further discreet hard standing for cars, boat or a motorhome. Offered privacy by mature laurels the south facing rear garden is predominantly lawned and studded with mature trees. A large tiered Indian sandstone patio offers an ideal relaxation or entertainment venue with much evening sunshine.

Location
The historic town of Romsey is within a mile of the property and the nearby Canal footpath provides pleasant pedestrian access into the centre. Romsey has an excellent selection of both boutique and nationally known shops including a Waitrose supermarket. It also provides excellent access to Southampton, M27 and the New Forest National Park with its stunning walks and treks whilst the nearby southern coast line is only a short trip away. 

Agents Notes

Internally, the specification is excellent; contemporary yet in a traditional style. The character radiators in the bathrooms are dual fuel (gas and electric) for convenience.
