A Charming Edwardian Cottage in the Heart of Warsash – First Time to Market Since Construction

If there were a prize for the prettiest home in Warsash, this beautifully preserved character semi-detached cottage would be a strong contender. Built circa 1908 and offered to the open market for the very first time, this much-loved family home combines timeless architectural elegance with warm, inviting interiors and a truly exceptional garden.

Originally constructed by the current owners' great-great-grandfather, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of local heritage. The traditional Edwardian façade showcases central entrance symmetry, striking double bay windows, rich red brickwork with distinctive yellow brick quoins and detailing – all of which create instant kerb appeal.

The property has been sympathetically extended over the years to enhance both the space and functionality, whilst retaining its original charm. The ground floor accommodation includes a central hallway, formal lounge, dining room, study, and a generous kitchen/breakfast room. A large L-shaped Victorian-style conservatory with a glass roof has been added to the rear, providing an impressive and versatile living space. A cloakroom completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three generously sized double bedrooms and a large, well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the home, period features such as stripped floorboards and a handsome red brick open fireplace have been retained, adding warmth and authenticity. The interiors are tastefully decorated in heritage colours, and the property is presented in immaculate condition throughout.

A Garden Sanctuary

Set behind a mature hedge offering privacy from the road, the front of the property provides off-road parking for two vehicles. The rear garden is a true highlight – lovingly landscaped over time to create a tranquil and inspiring outdoor haven. Stretching nearly 100 feet in length, the garden features a variety of zones, including a large patio, manicured lawns, a central ornamental fishpond, and an array of well-established perennial, evergreen, and seasonal planting.

Discreet seating areas and recreational spots are dotted throughout, offering perfect spaces for relaxation or entertaining. Beyond the main garden lies a productive vegetable plot, complete with raised beds and an aluminium-framed greenhouse – ideal for those with green fingers. The entire garden is fully enclosed, wonderfully private, and often enjoys peaceful 'pin-drop' quiet.

Exceptional Location

Perfectly positioned near the end of a sought-after road in the heart of Warsash village, the property is just minutes from the Church Road nature reserve and the scenic foreshore of Southampton Water and the River Hamble. The village centre, with its excellent selection of shops, cafés, pubs, and amenities, is also a short walk away.

This family home is ideally placed for school catchments, including the highly regarded Hook-with-Warsash Primary School, situated directly opposite, and Brookfield Community School for secondary education.

This is more than just a property – it's a lifestyle. From weekend walks to waterside adventures and a strong sense of community, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of charm, location, and heritage.
