Romsey Road, Copythorne, Southampton, SO40

Welcome to Swinford, a delightful Edwardian double-fronted cottage nestled in Copythorne within the New Forest National Park. While the property has been extended to enhance its space and versatility, it still retains the timeless charm of a classic cottage.

The front door opens into a small porch area, which leads through glazed double doors into the entrance hallway. From the hallway, you'll find the sitting room to the right and the family dining room to the left. A staircase ascends from the hallway to the first-floor accommodation.

The sitting room, though modest in size, offers a charming cottage feel with its original sash window overlooking the front garden and a centrally located exposed brick fireplace with a log-burning stove. It’s a delightful space to relax and unwind. At the rear of the room, a sliding double-glazed door opens into the conservatory.

The conservatory offers a pleasant and ideal space for some garden furniture and a lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee. From here you can access the garden and the utility room.

Moving back across the entrance hallway is the spacious family dining room, having been extended previously this room is a nice size room with dual aspect windows. A large picture window to the side provides wonderful views from the dining area of the garden. A double glazed door allows access into the garden with a further door leads into the kitchen breakfast room.

The kitchen Breakfast room located to the rear of the house is fitted with lovely wooden hand made kitchen which suits the country feel and style of this home. Wonderful views of the paddock land to the rear can be enjoyed whilst looking out of the kitchens rear window. Following the flow of the property the next door leads into the utility room which has a large walk in understairs pantry, space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher.

First floor

The landing area provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with a former storage cupboard now converted into a convenient walk-in shower unit. A recessed area provides a small but useful space and would make an ideal access point should someone apply to extend the property adding further accommodation and bedroom space.

The principal bedroom, located at the rear of the property, offers stunning views of both the side garden and the paddock land beyond. This room features fitted wardrobes throughout, as well as a balcony and French doors overlooking the rear. Bedroom two, situated at the front of the house, is a spacious double room with two convenient built-in cupboards for storage. Across the hallway, bedroom three, also at the front, is another generously sized double room.

The family bathroom features a claw-footed bath, wash hand basin and WC.

Garden and grounds

The walled garden, positioned beside the property, is a true haven for gardening enthusiasts. It boasts a vibrant array of flowers, shrubs, and trees, with a vine-covered pergola serving as the central feature. This incredibly private and secluded space backs onto paddock land, providing views of grazing horses. Additionally, a boiler room situated near the back door contains the boiler, as well as a convenient WC and sink.

The driveway provides access to the single garage and off road parking for a couple of cars.
