School Lane, Hamble, Southampton, Hampshire, SO31

A beautifully designed 3/4 bedroom home set back on a quiet sought after lane, close to the marina, village square and woodland walks. Offering stylish open plan, versatile living with bi-fold doors, double sided log burner, mature gardens, studio, garage/workshop and generous driveway.

As you approach the property, it is set well back along a quiet lane, with a generous driveway providing ample parking and access to the workshop/garage and car port. The house has an attractive, individual feel with its sloping eaves and characterful design, softened by a mature and well-established garden setting.

You enter through the front door into a spacious hallway, which sets the tone for the rest of the home, offering a practical yet homely layout. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the main living spaces.

The heart of the home is the extensive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed very much with modern living in mind. The kitchen is well fitted with a comprehensive range of units, complemented by a central island providing both workspace and a sociable seating area. This space opens seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating a superb day-to-day living and entertaining environment.

A particular feature of this space is the double-sided log burner, which adds both warmth and a focal point between the living areas. Bi-fold doors run along the rear, opening out onto the garden and allowing for a strong connection between inside and out, as well as bringing in plenty of natural light.

In addition to the main living space, there is a separate study, which also benefits from bi-fold doors to the garden, making it an ideal work-from-home space or additional reception room depending on requirements.

The practical side of the house is equally well considered, with a useful utility/boot room providing additional storage and space for appliances, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered.

The bedroom accommodation is flexible, offering three to four bedrooms depending on how the space is utilised. The principal bedroom is a generous room with a pretty outlook over the garden, while the remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and served by a combination of bathrooms and shower rooms, giving a total of three bath/shower rooms, as well as a WC.

Outside, the garden is a particularly attractive feature of the home. It is a good size, mature and thoughtfully arranged, with a variety of planting, seating areas and a greenhouse which is connected directly to the house. There is also an outside studio, offering further versatility, whether for hobbies, work or additional storage.

The overall feel of the property is one of a very functional home, carefully arranged to suit modern living, whilst still retaining a warm and characterful atmosphere.
