Description:An exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire this rarely available Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse in the centre of Romsey which, unusually, comes with a large and sunny garden, double garage, and driveway parking for at least five cars. The accommodation extends to over 2,100 square feet and is arranged over three floors including a large kitchen/dining room, believed to be a Victorian extension, and a separate rear addition with annexe potential.
Enjoying a prized position in one of Romsey’s oldest and most sought-after roads just a few yards from the town’s main shopping and dining thoroughfare, early viewing is advised of this special home which we anticipate will generate considerable interest.
Location:
Formerly the main road into Romsey, Middlebridge Street is now a pleasant residential road with an aesthetically pleasing variety of homes spanning the last two hundred years or so, and is extremely popular due to its ideal location within a few minutes' walk of the town centre. Romsey's excellent facilities include Bradbeers independent department store and a Waitrose superstore complemented by an eclectic mix of boutique shops and independent local retailers alongside a good selection of familiar High Street names, and numerous coffee shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. Also within walking distance are bus and train stations which provide direct links to Winchester, Salisbury and Southampton.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into the entrance hall which runs front to back with a door into the garden and stairs to the upper floors with storage under. Adjoining the hall is a useful shower room with WC, and the family room which has a feature fireplace with built-in cupboards either side and a shuttered sash window providing a front-facing aspect. The triple-aspect kitchen/dining room has an extensive range of modern fitted wall and base units with inset sink and space for the usual appliances, and double doors open directly onto the sun-terrace and garden. Also on the ground floor is a study/playroom which leads onto the utility room, a second shower room and ground floor bedroom all of which could create a separate annexe if required.
On the first floor is a large sitting room to the front of the property with feature fireplace and inset wood burner, and a good size double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. On the second floor are a further two double bedrooms along with the spacious family bathroom.
Outside:
The property fronts the stream running along Middlebridge Street, wrought-iron railings separating the stream from the front lawn. An entrance to the side opens into an expansive block paved driveway with private off-road parking for at least five cars in addition to the double garage which has loft storage, power and light, attached log store, and personal door at the rear. A gate provides access to the lovely garden which is larger than the average for houses in the town and enjoys a sunny south-west aspect, being principally laid to lawn with neat flower and shrub borders, raised beds and brick paths. A sun-terrace adjoins the kitchen/dining room and has a pergola over adorned with a mature wisteria which, with the brick wall alongside, creates a real sun-trap and the perfect place for al-fresco dining.
