North Baddesley

Location:
North Baddesley is a popular village with excellent amenities including three Co-op convenience stores one of which has a Post Office, pharmacy, dry cleaners, hairdressers, pub and restaurants, recreation centre, village hall and a popular primary school.  Romsey and Southampton are approximately three and six miles distant respectively, with good access nearby onto the M27/M3 motorway network for London, Winchester and the south coast.  There is a regular bus service connecting the village with Eastleigh, Southampton and Romsey, and the property is within the catchment for the sought-after Mountbatten School in Romsey.

Accommodation:
The main entrance opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall which features an oak and glass staircase to the first floor, and attractive tiled wood effect flooring which continues into the adjacent study/third bedroom, a double room with fitted cupboard and front-facing window.  On the opposite side of the entrance hall is the fourth bedroom, also front facing and a good size double room with fitted wardrobes.  Serving these two bedrooms is a stylish bathroom with contemporary suite comprising bath with centre taps and shower mixer, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail, excellent built-in storage, and feature pelmet lighting.

The remainder of the ground floor comprises a magnificent open-plan living/kitchen/family room which has been thoughtfully designed to create an amazingly light and open space, further enhanced as it opens directly into the large adjoining patio terrace and garden through bi-folding doors making this a tremendous home for anyone who enjoys entertaining and socialising.  The large lantern window allows the light to flood in whilst the feature tiled chimney breast with inset wood burner offers a cosy contrast for colder winter nights.  The kitchen is a particularly impressive area as it is attractively fitted with contrasting two-tone wall and base units surmounted with quartz worktops and incorporating a range of integrated units comprising induction hob, electric oven and microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, with space for large fridge/freezer and separate cupboard housing the central heating boiler.  Adjoining the kitchen is a very useful utility room with door to the garden and adjacent cloakroom with WC. 

On the first floor are two large double bedrooms each with generous built-in storage and these share a stylish and well-appointed shower room with walk-in shower cubicle, 7-shape wash basin and WC.

Outside:
To the front of the property is a neat block paved driveway with off-road parking for at least three to four cars.  There are gates to the side immediately behind which is a useful bike/dog washing area, the access leading on to the rear of the property.  The rear garden, another impressive feature, is almost 100' in length enjoying a west facing aspect being principally laid to lawn with mature tree and hedge borders providing near total privacy and seclusion.  A large decked sun-terrace adjoining the family room creates the perfect environment for al-fresco dining with an adjacent covered garden snug just in case it rains!  There is a large shed/workshop with useful lockable store, and a separate multi-purpose garden-room which is perfect for use as a home office, gym, studio or similar.
