Plaitford, Romsey

Location:
Plaitford is a small village within the boundary of the New Forest National Park approximately five miles from the market town of Romsey and 12 miles from the cathedral city of Salisbury, both easily reached via the A36 which also links to Junction 2 of the M27 for onward connections to Southampton and, via the M3, to London and Winchester.  The neighbouring village of West Wellow has convenience and hardware stores, primary school and recreation ground, and there are several pubs in the vicinity including a recommended gastro pub. The property also falls within the catchment of the popular Mountbatten Secondary School in Romsey.  For walkers and riders, Canada Common in the New Forest National Park is within convenient reach, and access to the scenic New Forest trails can be reached across the road.

Accommodation:
The front porch opens into a large dining/reception room adjoining which is a useful room ideal for use as a study or playroom with patio doors leading to the side garden, and from which are double doors opening into the large sitting room which has a feature brick fireplace and chimney breast with inset log burner.  The conservatory leads off the sitting room which overlooks and provides access to the gardens.  The kitchen is particularly impressive as it comprises a stylish range of wall and base units with granite worktops and integrated appliances to include induction hob, electric double oven, warming drawer and dishwasher. There is a water softener and, in addition to the hot and cold water supply, are boiling water and filtered water taps.  A cupboard houses the Worcester central heating boiler and a door provides another entry point to the garden.  A utility/cloakroom with WC and plumbing for washing machine completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor landing contains one of two access points into the loft space, the other being in the family bathroom.  The large master bedroom has a range of built-in wardrobes with full-length sliding doors and a modern en-suite shower room.  There are three additional double bedrooms all with built-in storage and these share the well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside:
The property is set back from the main road and stands in good size gardens enjoying a high degree of privacy and seclusion.  To the side of the property is driveway parking for several vehicles leading to the detached double garage which has twin electric up-and-over doors, personal door to the garden, power and light.  The gardens are principally laid to lawn and well-stocked with a pleasant variety of mature plants and shrubs, well-stocked borders, summerhouse and garden shed both with power connected, patio terrace ideal for al-fresco dining, and a low-level hedge on the rear boundary allows for a picturesque outlook over the adjoining fields to the rear where deer and other wildlife can be viewed.
