Introduction
With many rooms boasting a dual aspect, this lovely home maintains a surprising peace and tranquillity, being delightfully tucked away on this well regarded lane, offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. This beautifully styled home, built in the late 1960’s, enjoys a host of attractive features, with the ground floor centred upon a stunning, spacious sitting room, offering a dual aspect with views and access onto the delightful gardens. Three further reception rooms, including a pleasant formal dining room are complemented by a large kitchen breakfast room and utility area. On the first floor are four bedrooms, a bathroom and ensuite shower room to the notable master bedroom. The convenience of this home’s position to the popular town centre of Romsey is one of its major attributes and its generous parking and sizeable garage are a premium in such close proximity to the town location.
