Description:An unusual but exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire two adjacent properties in the centre of Romsey which would be perfect for large or extended families, but which also allows for use as a family home with an additional income stream by sub-letting, Airbnb, holiday let or similar. Rydal House, one of Romsey’s finest, is a Grade II Listed detached house extending to around 2,500 square feet with Rydal Mews, formerly the coach house but now registered as a separate dwelling, providing an additional 870 square feet of most useful ancillary accommodation.
Both properties are presented in excellent order throughout and the full potential and abundance of charm and character on offer can only be fully appreciated once viewed internally.
Accommodation:
The main entrance to Rydal House brings you into a large and welcoming reception hall which has an impressive inset Georgian dresser, stairs to the first floor, and adjacent cloakroom with WC. Adjoining the hall is the double aspect sitting room with feature open fireplace, with an inner hall providing access to the remaining ground floor rooms. These include a good size dining room with feature fireplace, family room/snug with stairs down to the air-conditioned basement, and a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the garden and an adjoining large utility room with separate access to the garden. On the first floor is a large master bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed modern en-suite shower room, and three additional double bedrooms served by a stylish family bathroom fitted with an attractive period style suite.
Rydal Mews is accessed via Church Road and offers very pleasant two/three bedroomed accommodation depending on individual needs and preferences. The front door opens into a bright and spacious sitting room with French door to the garden and opens into a very well-appointed galley kitchen. There is a very useful ground floor cloakroom with WC and a study/third bedroom, whilst on the first floor is a bright landing providing access to an additional two bedrooms and a spacious well fitted bathroom.
Both properties are presented in excellent order throughout and have the benefit of gas radiator central heating.
Outside:
There is a surprisingly large and private west-facing garden to the rear of Rydal House which is enclosed on all sides by brick walls, and principally laid to lawn with neatly manicured borders and a large sun-terrace ideal for al-fresco dining and barbecues. Rydal Mews has its own patio garden discreetly separated by a tall post and rail fence for privacy. There is off-road parking for two cars in front of Rydal Mews shared by both properties accessed from Church Road.
Agents’ Note:
The properties are held on separate Titles but are under the same ownership.
