Location:The property is situated along The Hundred, the main thoroughfare through the centre of Romsey, and just yards from the bustling town centre which has as its centrepiece a famous Norman Abbey. A historic market town straddling the River Test, Romsey is well served by a number of larger stores including Waitrose and Bradbeers Independent Department Store which are complemented by an eclectic mix of local independent retailers and traditional high street favourites.
There are numerous coffee shops and bars many of which front the popular plaza in the Market Place at the top of The Hundred, along with many restaurants providing informal dining from a wide variety of cuisines. Romsey has bus and rail stations providing direct links to the neighbouring cities of Salisbury, Winchester and Southampton and is also well placed for access onto the M27/M3 motorway network for London and the South Coast, whilst the area offers a wide choice of schools in both the public and private sectors.
Accommodation:
The main entrance opens into a small lobby which, in turn, opens into a large reception room which has as its focal point an exposed brick fireplace with inset wood burner, useful built-in storage, stairs to the first floor and exposed beams, and a door opening into an adjoining cosy sitting room also with exposed beams. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and is attractively fitted having a range of modern units surmounted with contemporary worktops and some built-in appliances. The breakfast room with built-in pantry adjoins the kitchen and there is a good-sized dining room opposite the kitchen, these three rooms combining into a sociable family area. The rear hallway has a door to the garden giving access to the utility/shower room.
From the first floor landing are stairs to the second floor and access to three of the five double bedrooms, two of which have built-in storage. The family bathroom is very well-appointed and comprises a panel-enclosed bath with shower over, wash basin and WC, and is complemented by a separate modern shower room with tiled shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Both bathrooms have complementary tiling and enjoy natural light and ventilation. On the second floor are the two remaining double bedrooms both with built-in storage.
Outside:
There is gated side access to the good-sized south-facing garden, which enjoys a high degree of privacy and seclusion, is enclosed by brick walls and mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked flower and shrub borders. The utility room is very well-equipped and has a useful built-in shower cubicle, ideal for muddy dogs, and there is a separate outside WC with hand basin, a reminder of the property's days as a pub.
Opposite the property adjacent to 102 The Hundred is the driveway with off-road parking for four cars leading to the double-length garage which has an electric roller door, external EV charging point, loft storage, power, light and water and a door providing access to an additional enclosed garden area ideal for further log/bike/tool storage etc.
