Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY When it comes to modern properties, or those re-shaped / designed from an earlier era, it is a common mis-conception that they can be small. 'Swanwick House' contradicts both of these interpretations, providing approximately 3600sq ft of living accommodation, the house has four reception areas, a cloakroom, fitted kitchen and utility room on the ground floor with five bedrooms, two have en-suite facilities and a large family bathroom on the first floor. There are many other impressive features, such as the roof top balcony with views over adjacent woodland and farmland, a driveway with off road car parking for numerous cars, front and rear gardens as well as a detached double garage block with a home office above. 'Swanwick House' is offered in excellent order with a high quality finish and standard throughout and provides ample living accommodation for the growing family. Being conveniently located on the outskirts to the historic village and having open farmland adjacent with countryside walks, the River Hamble, schools and shopping facilities nearby. Swanwick Lakes is an area of around 80 acres, which is managed by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, it sits to the rear of the house within approximately half a mile. The marinas on the River Hamble are 'nestled at the bottom of the lane' and the last remaining example of Victorian steam powered brickworks are nearby, an internal viewing of this deceptively spacious family home is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
