Links Lane, Rowland's Castle

Located in Links Lane, generally regarded as the premier location within the village of Rowlands Castle and which abuts the renowned Rowlands Castle Golf Club, this family home occupies a substantial plot. There is close to 3,000 sq. ft. of internal accommodation, with the potential to increase that (subject to usual planning consents). Arranged over two floors and consisting of; a sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The garden to the rear is expansive, offering opportunities for further accommodation (subject to usual planning consents) by way of an annexe / home office or studio at the bottom of the garden, without impacting the main house. There are two single integrated garages, at either end of the house, both with internal access, and a spacious frontage offering plenty parking, with the house standing well back from the roadside.

The house is ideally located within a short walk of the centre of the village. Next to The Green there is a general store, haberdashery with post office, doctors surgery, veterinary surgery, coffee shop, two village pubs and a mainline railway station providing access to cities along the south coast as well as London Waterloo in about 1½ hours.

This family home has been occupied by its current residents for some 30 years and has provided great enjoyment with its wonderful location and extensive garden. Some modernisation is now called for, and once done the new residents could soon be enjoying those same lifestyle benefits.
