Romsey, SO51 8FD

Location:  Romsey is a charming and historic market town that has retained much of its original character, offering a wonderful blend of heritage and modern convenience. It provides an excellent range of amenities for everyday living, including an array of independent shops, well-regarded schools, leisure facilities, and essential services such as doctors' and dental surgeries. The town is well-connected, with regular bus and rail links, while the M27 motorway is easily accessible at Junction 3, approximately 3.5 miles away. From here, the major centres of Southampton, Winchester, Salisbury, and Portsmouth are all within convenient reach, making Romsey an ideal base for both commuting and leisure.

Accommodation: A welcoming entrance lobby provides a practical space for coats and shoes before opening into the elegant sitting room, where beautifully preserved period features, including a sash window, stripped timber flooring and an attractive fireplace, create a warm and inviting first impression.  Bespoke cabinetry within the alcoves provides stylish and practical storage while enhancing the room's timeless appeal.  Beyond, the accommodation flows naturally towards the spectacular kitchen and breakfast room, undoubtedly the heart of the home.  Created as part of a sympathetic extension, this impressive space features a vaulted ceiling with rooflights, allowing natural light to pour in throughout the day, while full-width bi-fold doors blur the line between inside and out.  Beautifully fitted with an extensive range of classic cabinetry complemented by granite work surfaces, the kitchen centres around a generous breakfast bar, creating a wonderful environment for everyday family life and entertaining alike.  Integrated appliances, including a Rangemaster cooker, combine practicality with refined styling.  Discreetly positioned beyond the kitchen, a spacious utility room provides excellent additional storage and laundry facilities with direct access to the garden, complemented by a well-appointed guest cloakroom.

The first floor offers two beautifully proportioned double bedrooms.  The principal suite enjoys generous fitted wardrobe space together with an en-suite shower, this would lend well to the complete conversion into a full en-suite bathroom, whilst retaining charming period details including a cast iron fireplace and large sash window.  The second bedroom is equally well presented and is served by a stylish family bathroom.

Occupying the upper floor, the third bedroom is a delightful retreat, benefiting from fitted storage within the eaves, a contemporary vanity unit and attractive views across the rear garden.

The fully converted basement provides a highly versatile additional room, ideal as a guest bedroom, home office, cinema room or gym, with the benefit of an air circulation system ensuring comfort throughout the year.

Outside: The beautifully landscaped westerly-facing garden offers a peaceful and remarkably private setting.  A sandstone terrace provides the perfect space for al-fresco dining before leading through well-stocked borders to an attractive pergola seating area.  Completing this exceptional home is a detached tandem garage with automated door, additional private parking to the rear and resident permit parking available nearby.  The result is a beautifully balanced home where elegant Victorian character meets contemporary family living, all within a short stroll of Romsey's vibrant town centre.

Agent Note: The property is offered with no forward chain, and a grant of probate is pending.
