Nursling, Southampton

Location:
The village of Nursling is between the market town of Romsey and the port city of Southampton, both about four miles distant, and is coupled with the neighbouring village of Rownhams which combined offer a good range of local amenities.  At Romsey and Southampton you will find excellent shopping, leisure and dining options to suit all tastes and within easy reach is the M27/M3 interchange which provides onward connections to London, Winchester, the New Forest National Park, the South Coast and the West Country.  The area is also well served by reputable schools for all age groups in both the public and private sectors.

Accommodation:
The main entrance into the property is via an original central carriage entrance and courtyard from which a door opens into the split-level entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and steps down to an inner hall, adjoining which is a cloakroom with WC.  The sitting room features a brick fireplace with inset wood burner and French doors opening into the garden, and the kitchen is well-fitted with a good range of units, excellent built-in storage, electric Aga, and an adjoining dining conservatory which enjoys fine views of and access via double doors into the garden.  The large utility room has a walk-in pantry and a door opening into a large workshop which, in turn, opens into the garden.

On the first floor is a landing with stairs to the second floor, four bedrooms, family bathroom and a separate shower room.  The master bedroom is a large double with a generous provision of built-in storage as well as the airing cupboard, while the remaining three bedrooms on this level are all doubles with built-in storage.  On the second floor is a large double bedroom with dressing area, and access to a very spacious walk-in loft storage area.

Outside:
The property is approached via the long driveway from Upton Lane which leads to Grove Place, the former Elizabethan mansion now a retirement village, with a spur providing access to The Barn and the neighbouring Griffon House.  A five-bar gate opens into an expansive block paved driveway with generous vehicle parking in turn leading through the impressive central entrance to an enclosed paved courtyard.  To the south and west of the property are grounds extending to around 1.78 acres which include a small paddock, formal gardens, sun-terrace and patio ideal for al-fresco dining, a large kitchen garden (now in need of cultivation), small orchard, and informal gardens with various outbuildings currently used for poultry and storage.
