Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY If you are looking for a home or a weekend retreat beside the sea then look no further than 'C-Side'. This aptly named and unique waterfront character home has the character and feel of a Ferryman's cottage with some rustic features such as distressed wooden flooring and an open fire, yet it is in a modern development of similar sized properties known as Ferryman's Quay. It sits on the waterfront at Netley Abbey only a few hundred yards away from the Netley Hospital Chapel, Netley Sailing Club, Royal Victoria Railway, on the former army hospital site within the Royal Victoria Country Park with Sophie's Pond on one side of the road and Southampton Water on the other. The accommodation is arranged over two primary floors with a hallway, cloakroom, 30' open plan living room incorporating dining area, sitting room and fitted kitchen on the ground floor with a study area / landing, two bedrooms linking onto a dressing room, which in turn leads to a bathroom and separate shower room. Outside is a decked area leading down to a communal area overlooking the waterfront. Opposite are car parking facilities and a wooden storage shed, early internal viewing of this truly unique 'pied-à-terre' by the sea is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
