Victoria Road, Netley Abbey, SO31

INTRODUCTION

With a combination of its own charm and character, Little Blue Cottage has been thoughtfully extended and has a wonderful light and airy feel throughout. The property enjoys direct views over the village green and Netley's pretty shoreline and has the advantage of being offered with no forward chain.

Internally, the house has a well-proportioned sitting room with an attractive fireplace that opens into a further seating area, which was originally a dining room. There is also a beautiful kitchen/breakfast room, stylish garden room and a cloakroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, the master of which enjoys views over the village green and Southampton Water, and a recently fitted modern bathroom.

The rear garden has been fully landscaped and includes two patio areas and a low maintenance, lawned area with a pergola at the end.

Due to everything this truly beautiful cottage has to offer, in addition to its wonderful location, an early viewing is undoubtedly a must.

LOCATION

Situated on the banks of Southampton Water, the property is within a short walk from the Abbey itself, the most complete Cistercian monastery in southern England dating back to the 13th century. In addition, the village also offers the beautiful Royal Victoria Country Park, which is set within 200 acres of woodland and includes large open spaces, a cafe, picnic areas, a miniature railway and carefully designed play areas.

As well a variety of shops, two popular pubs, a school and sailing clubs, the village is also only minutes away from the sailing Mecca of Hamble with its marinas and restaurants. All main motorway access routes are also easily accessible enabling direct access to Southampton City Centre, Portsmouth, the Cathedral City of Winchester, Chichester, Guildford and London.

INSIDE

The double glazed front door opens into the entrance hall which has a further door leading through to the spacious, light and airy sitting room. This room has a window to the front enjoying wonderful views, with the room itself benefitting from stylish engineered oak flooring which continues through to the family room/study. The main focal point of the sitting room is the attractive fireplace with inset electric fire and wooden surround.

Stairs to one side of the room lead up to the first floor, with a door to one side leading through to a modern downstairs cloakroom.

An opening and one end of the family room/study leads through to the heart of the house, the truly stunning kitchen/breakfast room. This room has been fitted with a matching range of wall and base units with a fitted breakfast bar to one side and several appliances including two ovens, a gas hob with extractor over, built-in dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine and a tumble dryer. The room also has a one and a half bowl ceramic sink unit, ceramic tiled flooring, spotlights and a window overlooking the garden.

Double glazed French doors lead through to the garden room which has a double glazed light lantern, windows to both the side and rear, enjoying views over the rear garden, along with ceramic tiled flooring and a set of double glazed French doors to the side opening onto the patio area.

On the first floor, there is access to a good-sized loft via a pull-down ladder (which offers potential to add an additional room, subject to the relevant planning consents).

The master bedroom has a picture window overlooking the village green and water and has two fitted wardrobes to one wall. Bedroom two, which is also a double room, has a window overlooking the rear garden.

The family bathroom has been recently fitted with a stylish, modern suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, vanity wash hand basin with cupboards below, heated towel rail and a low level WC. The room also has complementary tiling, spotlights and a cupboard providing useful storage.
