Tucked away towards the rear of the development, this superb property enjoys a peaceful setting with attractive views across Fishlake Meadows Nature Reserve, offering a rare blend of modern living and natural surroundings. THE SITUATION  The charming market town of Romsey offers an excellent blend of historic character and modern convenience, making it one of Hampshire’s most desirable places to live. Steeped in history, the town is perhaps best known for the magnificent Romsey Abbey, a striking Norman abbey at the heart of the community. Romsey provides a wide range of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, alongside everyday amenities, creating a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere. Regular markets and community events further enhance its strong sense of local identity. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the nearby Fishlake Meadows Nature Reserve offers beautiful walking routes and abundant wildlife, while the surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for recreation. The town is particularly well placed for commuters, with convenient access to the larger centres of Southampton and Winchester, both offering extensive shopping, dining and cultural facilities. Mainline rail services from Romsey connect to London and the South Coast, while the nearby M27 and M3 motorways provide excellent road links. Well-regarded schools for all ages are available both within Romsey and the surrounding area, further adding to its appeal for families. Combining historic charm, natural beauty and excellent connectivity, Romsey continues to be a highly sought-after location for a wide range of buyers. THE PROPERTY  Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space and leads through to the principal living accommodation. Positioned to the right is a generous dual-aspect sitting room (14’7 x 11’3), offering a cosy and inviting retreat, perfect for relaxing away from the main living space. To the rear of the property lies the heart of the home — an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen, designed by Tailor Made Kitchens, features sleek cabinetry, quartz worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including Bosch units: dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven, combi microwave oven and induction hob. The dining area enjoys a desirable south-westerly aspect, with French doors allowing natural light to flood the space while providing direct access to the garden. A separate utility room offers additional practicality, housing the boiler and space for appliances, while a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. First Floor The first-floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, all accessed from a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, with bedroom two further enhanced by fitted storage. OUTSIDE  To the front and side, the property offers driveway parking for three to four vehicles, alongside a large single garage providing secure parking or additional storage, with useful loft space above. A side gate leads to the rear garden, which has been thoughtfully arranged over two tiers. The upper tier features a patio terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, alongside a lawned area. Steps lead down to a second, more expansive lawn, offering excellent space for recreation and family activities. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641238) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641239) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641240) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641241) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641242) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641243) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641244) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641245) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641246) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641247) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641248) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641249) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641250) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641251) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641252) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641253) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641254) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/173978435/641255) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/173978435/641256) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/173978435/641257) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
