Lounge

Traditionally this room would have been called the parlor as it would have been for entertaining guests and after 200 years, this is still the case. A wonderful, welcoming space with a hardwood timber front door which opens into the lounge, with open fire, ceiling beams and bay window overlooking the green and Southampton water, it's cosy in the winter and bright in the summer. Radiator and door through to dining room.

Dining Room

The ceiling beams continue through into the dining room along with another open fire place and general cottage charm. Oak flooring complements the staircase that leads up to the first floor. A window to the side provides plenty of light along with the archway that draws you into the kitchen. Radiator.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room is a combination of different extensions over the years. We have a vaulted glass ceiling which floods light into the kitchen. You'll find an additional window to the side and also double doors which open out onto the courtyard patio area. The kitchen itself is a traditional cream shaker style kitchen with space for all appliances. The Aga is used purely for cooking in this instance. Doorway through to shower room.

Bathroom

Located to the back of the property on the ground floor, this shower room has a window to side aspect, tiled walls, single shower enclosure, pedestal sink and closed coupled sink.

Landing

The stairs and landing has carpeted flooring with doors to all rooms and a loft hatch which provides access to the loft space.

Bedroom One

A wonderful double bedroom with a view to match. Looking out over Southampton water, it's no surprise that these properties built here all those years ago. The room benefits two fitted wardrobes, carpeted flooring and radiator.

Bedroom Two

The second bedroom has a pleasant view out over the back garden. Built-in cupboard and boiler location plus carpeted flooring and radiator.

Bedroom Three

The third bedroom could be described as 'bijoux' when considering the height of the ceilings but is an ample space as either an office or indeed a single bedroom. Window to side, carpeted flooring and radiator.

WC

Although the bathroom is located downstairs the first floor does have it's own w/c off of the landing. With a closed coupled w/c and hand wash basin it saves on those late night trips downstairs.

Flagstone steps meander along the garden to the covered parking area, timber outbuilding and log store. The garden is bordered by various trees, shrubs and plants including Rhubarb, fig and apple.
