Description:A beautifully presented duplex apartment in central Romsey with two parking spaces, offering spacious and well-arranged accommodation oozing charm and character. Horsefair House was originally the family home of Strongs the brewers and latterly their Head Office before its creative conversion into an appealing collection of just nine apartments, with this apartment enjoying a private balcony and a view towards Romsey Abbey.
The split-level arrangement provides an interesting interior which includes a good size sitting room with adjoining integrated kitchen, master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, a second en-suite double bedroom, useful study area, and separate cloakroom with WC. With generous storage throughout supplemented by a useful storage cage in the basement, and a share of the freehold with a relatively low service charge. Ref: SC Ref: CIHW
Location:
Horsefair House enjoys an ideal location just a few minutes' walk from Romsey town centre where you will find excellent amenities that include Bradbeers independent department store and a Waitrose superstore, complemented by an eclectic mix of boutique shops and independent local retailers interspersed with 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, and several iconic Romsey landmarks including the Norman Abbey, King John’s House and tea-room, the Memorial Park and salmon leap at Saddlers Mill on the River Test.
Accommodation:
Entry into the building is via a security intercom system with a wide communal entrance hall and stairway to the first floor, from which one enters the hall of the apartment itself with stairs to the upper level. The split-level landing is large enough to accommodate a study area and there is very useful built-in storage including a cupboard housing the central heating boiler, and an adjoining cloakroom with WC. The sitting/dining room enjoys a fine view towards Romsey Abbey and an opening provides access into the kitchen which has been fitted with stylish modern units and a range of integrated appliances to include electric double oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, all naturally lit by two large Velux windows.
The master bedroom is a good size and has a useful dressing area with built-in wardrobes, and a door opening into a very well-appointed contemporary bathroom comprising both bath and separate shower cubicle; a door from the master bedroom opens to a sit-on balcony with room for bistro table and two chairs. The second bedroom, also a double, has its own modern en-suite shower room, so is ideal as a guest room.
Outside to the rear of the building is a pleasant enclosed courtyard area for the use of the residents and the property has two allocated parking spaces, one to the front and one to the rear of the building.
