Old Solent House is a Grade II listed property, built as a merchant's house around 1700, later serving as a pub and an art gallery before becoming a private home. It is of classic Georgian proportions with a symmetrical facade, sash windows and a six panelled front door with a fanlight above.
To one side of the hallway is a double aspect drawing room with an open fire and views over the front and the east-facing garden. On the other side of the hall is the dining room which forms part of a double reception area with iconic views up Quay Hill. There is room for a study area, with an internal window to the hallway, and bi-fold doors and steps to the kitchen. The spacious, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room has an impressive bay window enjoying views over the garden. Adjacent is a cloakroom and utility room with a door to the garden. The main bedroom, with fitted wardrobes, overlooks the garden and has an en suite bathroom; the guest bedroom has views to the front and a Jack and Jill bathroom. On the second floor are two further bedrooms (one currently used as a home office) and a family shower room.
A significant additional benefit of the house is the award-winning garden studio which makes an ideal home office. Designed by Natalie Skeete of Forest Architecture it includes a wet room and ample cupboards/storage, ceiling light and bi-fold doors opening out onto the south facing garden patio.
