Knapp Lane, Romsey, SO51

This spacious and characterful barn conversion offers over half an acre of grounds and highly versatile accommodation, including a self contained annexe. Set in peaceful semi-rural location, the home blends traditional charm with modern practicality, ideal for multi-generational living or those seeking flexible spaces.

Currently arranged as two distinct areas, the layout offers excellent potential to be reconfigured into one expansive residence. Acknowledging the buildings heritage, exposed oak beams add warmth and character throughout the property.

At the heart of the main portion is a striking dual aspect sitting room, featuring a vaulted ceiling, full height front-facing windows, French doors opening to the rear and a wood-burning stove - creating an impressive and welcoming focal point.

Adjoining the sitting room is a cosy breakfast room that flows into a charming country-style kitchen with an oil fired Aga. The ground floor, with electric under floor heating, also includes a practical utility room, a cloakroom and one double bedroom and one bedroom/study.

Upstairs, a galleried landing provided a wonderful vantage point over the main living space. Two further first-floor bedrooms feature open mezzanine storage areas and are served by a family bathroom.

A further section of the property, currently accessed from the front garden, comprises a sitting room, kitchen area and a large bedroom with en suite. With some reconfiguration, this wing could be seamlessly incorporated back into the main home. Above the carport sits a self contained annexe, ideal for guests, extended family or potential rental income. The accommodation comprises an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area on the first floor with a shower room on the ground below.

Outside

The property is set within a generous plot of over 0.5 acre.

To the front, a private driveway provides ample parking and access to a two bay carport beneath the annexe. The front garden is attractively laid to shingle and framed by well established shrub borders.

The south-easterly facing rear garden is mostly laid to lawn and features two decked patio areas - one adjoining the house and another tucked into a peaceful corner beside a charming summer house. A further paved terrace offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. The garden enjoys a high degree of privacy, with open fields and woodland providing a natural backdrop on two sides.
