Introduction
Brindle House has been the subject of significant extension in recent years to provide a substantial family residence enjoying an exceptional kitchen living room hosting views and access to the garden and substantial sitting room, in addition to two versatile reception rooms. The vast double garage lends itself to future conversion if required and there remains outstanding planning consent to increase the first floor level. The house extends to over 3000sqft and benefits from a host of features including a large sun balcony from the master bedroom suite, a downstairs shower room serving the swimming pool, sizeable utility room and open fire to the sitting room. The gardens are both private and sizeable and Belbins is a most sought after setting due to its proximity to the centre of Romsey and exclusive selection of attractive substantial homes within a semi rural setting.
Description
A hardwood door opens into the spacious entrance hall which accesses the principal rooms, the downstairs cloakroom, a useful cloaks cupboard and the dual aspect study. Double doors open into the large square sitting room, centred upon a Rangemaster open fire and featuring sliding doors and windows to the sun terrace. Double doors also lead to the dining room which continues the theme of light and bright accommodation with sliding doors to the garden also. The central hub of the home is the impressive kitchen living room enjoying approximate dimensions of 24ft by 24ft with windows and doors leading to the south westerly facing garden. Fitted with Travertine flooring the kitchen is equipped with a host of eye and base level cream units with granite worktops and a central island. Integrated appliances include a five burner Rangemaster stove, dishwasher and ceramic hob. There is generous storage and ample space for both sizeable dining and lounge furniture. A lobby area with side access, serves an excellent utility room and shower room which proves useful in connection to the swimming pool. There is internal access to the particularly large double garage which offers good vehicular storage and potential conversion opportunity, subject to the necessary consents.
The first floor is also bright and light, served by a large landing accessing four well sized bedrooms and a family bathroom which also features a shower cubicle. The master bedroom is attractive with sliding patio doors to the large sun balcony overlooking the gardens. It also features a full range of fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathroom.
