Manchester Road, Netley Abbey, SO31 5DB

A truly spectacular Victorian Villa of 2800 square feet situated on the banks of Southampton Water commanding panoramic river views with the benefit of direct beach access. Rarely does such an opportunity arise to acquire such an impressive waterside home.

The property itself is beautifully proportioned with the hallmarks of quality throughout. In addition to its waterside location, a particular feature of the property are the magnificent reception rooms, all benefiting from grand proportions with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and large picture windows making the most of the glorious views. Two of the three reception rooms centre on fireplaces with the drawing room centring on a stunning marble fireplace with gas coal effect fire flanked by a low level cupboard with shelves over to one side. The kitchen/breakfast room has ample limed oak painted cupboards with integral appliances. A glazed door leads to a small walled courtyard area, perfect for morning coffee and growing herbs for the kitchen. The spacious light airy landing leads to four generous bedrooms; three of which have large picture windows to make the most of the waterside views, and are served by the family bathroom. The Master Bedroom enjoys ensuite facilities and a dressing room with built-in wardrobes.

Outside, the unique and remarkable feature of this property is its waterside location. The gardens have been beautifully manicured with well stocked borders, an extensive area laid to lawn and several large terraces, one of which adjoins the summer house and gives direct access via steps to the beach itself. The summer house has power, light and water. There are also two garages with electric doors and power sockets with further ample driveway car parking in front of both and a storage shed, also with power.

Cliff House is tucked away at the head of a private unmade lane, a stone’s throw from Netley Abbey. Netley Abbey is an extremely sought after village with an excellent range of amenities, in addition to Southampton Water for the sailing enthusiasts and Royal Victoria Country Park which adjoins Southampton Water and extends some 200 acres. The property is also conveniently located for access to the M27/M3.
