Bishops Waltham, Southampton

Having been sympathetically refurbished and thoughtfully extended, this beautiful Victorian cottage also benefits from being only a short walk away from the village centre. With a wealth of both charm and character, the property has a light and airy feel with accommodation on the ground floor comprising a sitting room, dining room, bespoke fully integrated kitchen complete with walk-in pantry and beautifully appointed bathroom. On the first floor there are then two good size bedrooms with an additional 16ft bedroom on the second floor. The property comes with an attractive garden and due to both its location and the accommodation on offer, an early viewing truly is a must.  

The house is approached via a pathway leading to a wooden front door which then leads directly through to the dining room which has a sash window to the front, ceiling rose, cast-iron fireplace to one side of the room, stripped floorboards, understairs cupboard, hanging space for cloaks and a door leading through to an inner hallway from which there is a staircase leading to the first floor and a further door leading through to a well-proportioned cosy sitting room which has a sash window to the rear, open fireplace with inset wood burning stove, an oak mantel, stripped floorboards, ceiling rose, TV and various power points. A pretty reclaimed pine door with patterned glass then leads directly through to the kitchen which has been fitted with a bespoke, matching range of high quality wall and base units with cupboards and drawers under. There are oak worktops and a range of built-in appliances including a double oven, gas hob with extractor over, built-in dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washer/dryer. The room also benefits from a Butler sink unit, part vaulted ceiling, an opening at one end leading through to a small rear hallway which has a window to the side, door leading through to a walk-in pantry which is fully fitted with shelving and has lighting with a further door at the end of the hallway leading through to a beautifully appointed bathroom. The bathroom has an obscure window to the rear and has been beautifully fitted with a modern suite comprising a roll top free-standing cast-iron bath with ball and claw feet and shower over, matching wash hand basin and WC. The room also has complementary tiling and spotlights.

On the first floor landing there is a door and staircase leading to the second floor with further doors that then lead through to the master bedroom which has sash window to the front and a cast-iron fireplace and TV with bedroom two overlooking the rear garden and again benefitting from a cast-iron fireplace to one wall.

On the second floor there is then a 16ft bedroom which is a dual aspect room, has eaves storage space and is currently used as a guest bedroom and sitting room by the vendors.  

OUTSIDE To the front of the property there is a small enclosed walled garden planted with a variety of flowers and shrubs whilst to the rear of the property there is a beautifully tiled patio area and wood store leaving the rest of the exceptionally sunny garden mainly laid to lawn again with planted borders and a pathway to the centre leading to the end of the garden and the shed with the garden itself being fully enclosed. There is then access to an alleyway giving rear access to the garden.
