Rowland's Castle, Hampshire

INTRODUCTION This modern family home is situated on a popular development of quality built properties by Bellway Homes in 2019 and is located just south of Rowlands Castle village centre. It benefits from easy access to a footpath which leads directly onto Redhill Road. Within a few minutes' walk you will reach the village centre and mainline railway station. Ideal for commuters! Regular services to London/Waterloo take about 1hr 45mins. The village primary school of St Johns is also within a few minutes' walk from the house.

Set around the village green are a number of independently owned stores providing many everyday requirements; a doctors surgery and chemist, general store/post office, a very useful hardware store, a café, a few village pubs and a veterinary surgery.

Just outside the village are the historic sites of Stansted Park, with its imposing Edwardian house and grounds, farm shop, garden centre and many other attractions, and Butser Ancient Farm a renowned archaeological open-air museum, both offering acres of open parkland for family enjoyment.

For keen walkers and cyclists, the village is crossed by several long-distance footpaths: the Monarch's Way, Sussex Border Path, Staunton Way and Shipwrights Way. National Cycle Route 22 passes by the village green on its route from Havant to Petersfield. Golf enthusiasts will be delighted to hear that Rowlands Castle Golf Club is close by.

Rowlands Castle is ideally situated for access to outlying points of interest. It sits on the cusp of the South Downs National Park, a vast area of rolling downland providing many opportunities for family recreation. The connecting road network is excellent, with the A3 to London and the south coast, and the M27 along the coastal route both close by.

The pretty harbourside village of Emsworth with its boutique stores and coffee shops, and the larger shopping centre of Havant are both within a short drive.

 

STEP INSIDE The property is very well presented and offers good spaces for modern day family living. The study, which has a front facing aspect, can be used for home working or would be ideal as a family room for youngsters to have their own space whilst grown-ups can enjoy the sitting room with its pleasant double-aspect outlook and access onto the garden patio.

The kitchen/dining/family room is, naturally, the hub of this family house and the most used space. With grey coloured units and wooden worktops, the working area is well-designed and fitted with a full range of quality modern appliances. A large central island, with further drawers and cupboards and breakfast bar, divides the working kitchen from the family dining/sitting area where there are double glass doors to the garden. There is wooden flooring throughout the hallway, kitchen/dining/family room and utility room. From the fitted utility room, a door leads into the spacious garage (5.99m x 4.50m) which is large enough to take a car plus have a workshop and store additional fridge-freezers if desired. There is ample room for storing water sport equipment, golf clubs, family bikes etc. A spacious cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor and all are very well-proportioned. The two largest have ensuite shower rooms, with the main bedroom enjoying its' own dressing room and range of fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms share a good sized family bathroom. All bathrooms/shower rooms have white suites, large shower 

OUTSIDE To the front the garden is lawned with flower and shrub beds and a tarmac driveway, providing parking for two vehicles, to the front of the garage. A wrought-iron fence borders the garden to the side, where the wide footpath leads onto Redhill Road.

The garden to the rear has been pleasantly planted with a number of flowering borders around the lawn. A paved patio, which is accessible from both the kitchen and sitting room, is an ideal spot for entertaining or for some solitude at the end of a busy day. There is a timber shed and water tap.
