** short & complete chain ahead ** just under A quarter acre plot ** An attractive detached character cottage, set in this popular non-estate position, within walking distance of the banks of the River Hamble. Presented in good order, a great deal of thought has been used to ensure the high level of character which would be associated with a property of this age, has been maintained. Situated on an unusually large plot, there is a wide side driveway area, accessed via an attractive set of gates; this area enjoys a great deal of privacy from the road, an ideal area for a boat, commercial vehicle, or motorhome. The overall rear garden continues at this extra width, for the entirety plot, there is even suggestion, (subject to planning permission), that there could be further development potential. Having previously run a small business from home, the current owners have built two large cabins in the garden, one which has been fully insulated, the other as more of a great storage for stock. These offer great scope and versatility, for a myriad of uses, either somebody wanting somewhere great to work from home, or running an architect’s practice, or therapy type or business. The rear garden has a large area laid to lawn areas to patio, with established shrub beds, the whole garden enjoys a great deal of privacy. Internally following the typical symmetrical design associated with this period, the central hallway gives access to matching reception rooms on either side of the hall, at the rear there is a cottage style kitchen, utility, garden room and large bathroom with period reproduction style suite. The garden room originally a conservatory, has had a solid insulated roof with glass lantern, thus providing more useful all round living space, than you could normally expect from a conservatory. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, the main bedroom enjoying a large bank of wardrobes and its own en-suite. Swanwick is renowned for its connection to the river, and the excellent yachting & water sport opportunities it presents, along with many picturesque walks, truly great dog owner territory.
