Southbrook Mews, Bishops Waltham, SO32

INTRODUCTION

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home in the heart of Bishop’s Waltham. Tucked away towards the rear of the highly regarded Southbrook Mews development, this ground-floor property offers an unusual combination of independence, flexibility and access to the facilities of a well-established retirement community.

Although technically a flat, the property has been arranged and presented with much of the feel and practicality of a bungalow. The original two-bedroom layout has been opened up to create a generous living and dining space, while retaining excellent potential to reconfigure the accommodation to suit individual requirements.

Southbrook Mews is an age-restricted development for the over 55s, with communal facilities, gardens and residents' parking, while the High Street and its selection of shops, cafés and restaurants are just moments away.

LOCATION

Position is one of the property's greatest assets. Southbrook Mews is exceptionally well placed within Bishop’s Waltham, with the High Street and its wealth of amenities just a short, level walk away.

The village offers an appealing mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs and everyday services, all surrounded by attractive Hampshire countryside.

For those travelling further afield, Botley provides a mainline railway station, while Fareham, Hedge End and the M27 are readily accessible by road.

INSIDE

Internally, the property offers excellent flexibility. Originally configured as a two-bedroom home, the current owner has opened up the second bedroom to create a particularly spacious living and dining area.

The layout could easily be adapted to reinstate a second, larger bedroom, or alternatively remodelled to create a more contemporary open-plan kitchen and living space. The modern kitchen provides a practical working environment, while the shower room is conveniently positioned for everyday use.

The ground-floor arrangement adds further practicality, while direct access from the lounge to the surrounding communal areas creates an unusually strong connection with the gardens and gives the property an independent feel.

OUTSIDE

The property's position towards the rear of Southbrook Mews is particularly appealing, providing a greater sense of privacy and independence from the main development.

Residents benefit from well-maintained communal gardens, shared facilities and residents' parking. The development also provides a communal lounge and kitchen and laundry facilities.

Ultimately, this is a property that offers the best of both worlds: the convenience and reassurance of a well-established retirement development, combined with a peaceful, independent-feeling home in an exceptionally central Bishop’s Waltham location.
