Newtown Road, Warsash, Southampton, Hampshire, SO31

Tucked away along a private approach, this charming Grade II listed cottage sits within mature gardens, surrounded by wildlife and offering a peaceful, hidden setting. Just a short walk from the village and River Hamble, it perfectly blends tranquillity with convenience.

Dating back to the 1600s, this beautiful detached cottage is steeped in history and offers a wealth of character throughout. Set within approximately half an acre, the mature gardens wrap around the property, creating a wonderfully private and established setting.

As you enter the front door into the entrance lobby/boot room, there are doors to the cloakroom, utility and the main living accommodation. The spacious sitting room is a dual aspect room with stairs rising to the first floor and an inglenook fireplace, creating a lovely focal point.

From here, the accommodation flows through to a further sinug with an open fireplace and doors opening onto the garden, as well as access through to both the breakfast room and dining room. The breakfast room leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units with space for appliances and a stable door to the front, while an adjoining utility room provides further storage and practicality.

The dining room opens into an impressive family room, known as 'The Folly' spanning over 24ft, enjoying views across the garden with double doors opening out, making this a wonderful entertaining space and steps down to the cellar.

The layout of the cottage offers a charming and individual arrangement, with multiple staircases leading to the upper floors, adding to its character and versatility.

The first floor accommodation comprises two generous bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely space with a vaulted ceiling, enjoying views to both the front and rear, and benefits from its own en-suite shower room and adjoining dressing room.

On the top floor, there are three further bedrooms, all enjoying a private outlook over the gardens, with one benefitting from fitted storage and a wash hand basin.

Outside, the property is a large gated driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, along with a double carport. The mature gardens surround the cottage, offering a high degree of privacy with established trees, lawned areas and a pond, as well as a summer house. The summer house has a main living area, shower room and kitchen/breakfast room, making this an ideal guest area/annex, home office or studio (subject to regulations).

The property is perfectly positioned for access to Warsash village, with its local amenities, sailing club and marina, while the nearby village of Hamble offers a further selection of waterfront pubs, restaurants and yacht clubs. The Solent Way coastal path is also close by, providing beautiful coastal and countryside walks.
