Outside

One of the property’s greatest assets is undoubtedly its plot.

Extending to approximately 0.25 of an acre, the gardens provide a wonderful backdrop to family life and outdoor entertaining.

To the rear, the garden extends to approximately 110 feet in length and has been thoughtfully designed to create a low-maintenance yet attractive environment. A patio terrace provides ideal space for alfresco dining, summer barbecues and entertaining friends and family.

Artificial lawn is complemented by established planting, mature trees and hedging, creating both privacy and year-round enjoyment.

A particularly noteworthy feature is the substantial detached garden store/workshop, fully insulated and fitted with power, lighting and a striking zinc roof. This versatile space could suit a variety of uses including hobbies, storage, a workshop or home business.

To the front, a generous block-paved driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, whilst the double garage benefits from electric doors and currently incorporates a utility area and home gym.

Properties within central Romsey offering this level of parking and outside space are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
