3 Bedroom Detached House

Set back from the road and approached via a pathway through the beautifully kept front garden, this charming Victorian cottage offers a wonderful blend of character, practicality and potential. 

The accommodation is arranged predominantly on the ground floor, making it particularly versatile. The living room is a generous space having originally been two rooms, featuring two fireplaces, one with a fitted gas fire and the other with an ornamental cast iron stove, offering the opportunity for a future wood burner if desired. Stairs rise from the rear of the room to the first floor.  The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of white units with integrated appliances including double oven, gas hob, fridge and freezer. There is ample space for a table and chairs, creating a sociable hub of the home, with a door providing direct access out to the garden.  Also on the ground floor is a separate dining room, currently used as a second reception space, with double doors opening onto the garden. This room offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a third bedroom, particularly given its proximity to the adjacent shower room, which features a step-free shower, ideal for those seeking ground floor living.  The main bathroom has a more traditional feel, with a freestanding claw foot bath and wash basin, complemented by a separate cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying a pleasant outlook and retaining the character of the original cottage. Bedroom two hosts the airing cupboard housing the Worcester gas boiler and hot tank. On the landing is loft hatch with a fitted ladder for easy access.

Externally, the gardens wrap around the front, side and rear of the property, with well-stocked borders, a neat lawn and a charming wisteria adorning the front elevation. To the rear, there is a low-maintenance area with artificial lawn and a timber shed, along with side access back to the kitchen.  One of the standout features of this property is the extensive parking, with space for numerous vehicles, as well as room for a boat trailer or caravan. The detached double garage is particularly impressive, with twin electric roller doors, power, light and water connected. Being of double-skin construction with a pitched roof, it offers excellent potential for conversion to an annexe or workspace, subject to the necessary consents.

For those who enjoy a waterside lifestyle this is the perfect location. The River Hamble, Deacons Boatyard and Swanwick Marina are all within half a mile, along with a selection of well-regarded pubs and restaurants including The Ship Inn, The Boathouse, Harpers Steakhouse and The Jolly Sailor of Howards Way fame.  Bursledon train station is just a six-minute walk, and there is convenient access to the M27 via Junction 8, making this an excellent choice for both commuters and those looking to enjoy everything the south coast has to offer.
