Holiday Rental Description

One of two properties set at the end of a private driveway, this striking property is a nature lover's paradise. A walk downhill through your own bluebell woods and a Site of Special Scientific Interest takes you to a private stretch of riverbank where you can take in the view from the marshland or bring your paddleboard for a trip on the water. Curbridge Nature Reserve and Swanwick Lakes are within 1.5 miles and Itchen Valley Country Park is 7 miles. For a change of pace head to Whitely Shopping Centre, 1.5 miles away with access to shops, restaurants and cinemas. The bustling cities of Southampton and Portsmouth with its historic dockyard, are both within 10 miles. A shared driveway leads to this detached property. Once inside you are met with an entrance hallway with WC straight ahead and a games room to the right. The inner hallway leads to a charming kitchen/diner, and a useful utility room ideal for dogs to dry off and storing muddy boots. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a light and airy lounge with Smart TV, comfortable seating, and glass doors onto to the wonderful, adjacent sunroom. In here, you ll discover a delightful place to unwind, with a chess table and distant views over the garden to the river. A staircase leads from the hallway to the first floor, where there is one double bedroom, two twin bedrooms and two king size, all boasting TVs. A further family bathroom with stylish décor can also be found on this floor. Heading outside to the expansive grounds, there is a large patio immediately to the rear with a hot tub, built in charcoal BBQ and furniture. A lawn leads from here to the bordering woodland, which you can walk through to reach the private riverbank and marshland.
