House For Sale £1,350,000
Nestling in a total plot of approximately 1.3 acres on the shoreline of Southampton Water is this unique residence commanding exceptional views across The Solent and the Isle of Wight beyond.
We understand the property was originally built in the 1930s but has been significantly extended by the current owners who created the first floor and built the detached pool room with heated indoor pool and a detached double garage.
The setting is undoubtedly the main attraction for this property given the incredible views and wonderful gardens which include a small lake to the north of the house.
In total the house provides 2500 sq.ft of accommodation over the two floors. The layout allows for a great deal of flexibility given the range of rooms available, particularly on the ground floor which comprises a spacious, bright and airy sitting room connecting to the equally generous dining room which provide views over the water and the lake respectively. Aside from the kitchen and utility room there are three further generous rooms which are currently used as two en suite bedrooms and a study but which could serve a range of different purposes depending on the needs of the buyer. In addition there is a first floor bedroom extending to almost 26 ft which boasts exceptional views over the Solent and is served by a generous bathroom on this level.
Externally there is almost 1600sq.ft of outbuildings including the double garage adjacent to the property and the detached pool house which has been thoughtfully positioned to provide 180 degree view across the water whilst you swim in the comfort of the heated pool. To the side of the pool house is a paved terrace overlooking the shoreline, complete with glass screening. This is a wonderful spot to while away the hours watching the activity on this bustling stretch of The Solent or to enjoy a sundowner. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with the lake providing a prominent and attractive feature in the foreground of the house. The mature gardens are feature swathes of mixed shrubs and plants providing colour and interest throughout the seasons. The property also benefits from a second vehicular access point to the northern end of the plot which could provide a more exclusive approach to the property.<br /><br />Warsash is a desirable waterside village situated almost equidistant to Portsmouth and Southampton. The village itself sits at the eastern shore of the mouth of the River Hamble which is one of only two places in the world to experience a double high tide. This along with the access to Southampton Water and The Solent, make the area famous for its world-renowned sailing facilities. The area also offers stunning coastal walks along the shore line and through the neighbouring Hook Nature Reserve. The village is well served for day to day amenities but more comprehensive facilities can be found at nearby Locks Heath Shopping Centre, the outlet centres at Hedge End and the commercial centres of Southampton and Portsmouth. For commuters Southampton Parkway offers rail links to London with journey times of approximately 1 hour 10 minutes. The A/M27 is within easy reach giving access to the wider motorway network beyond, whilst Southampton Airport offers both domestic and International flights. For families the area is convenient for both state and private schools including West Hill Park, Boundary Oak, Meoncross, Portsmouth Grammar and King Edward V1 and the local primary, Hook with Warsash CoE, is also very well regarded.
