Shamblehurst Lane North, SO32

The Property:
Set in a quiet and private position, this unique and beautifully presented home offers space and quiet. The house has been extended and thoughtfully modernised throughout offering a spacious and versatile layout. In addition, the gardens have been beautifully designed, creating a wonderful place to relax and entertain. The downstairs accommodation offers a study, a cloakroom, a very generous sitting room with newly fitted wood burner, a separate dining room and large kitchen/breakfast room with bi-fold doors leading to the very special garden. A utility room also serves.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms; the principal is of a substantial size, benefitting from ample fitted storage and an ensuite bathroom. The two further bedrooms are both doubles with storage served by the family bathroom. A sunny balcony is positioned off bedroom 'three', offering a unique additional outside space and enjoys views over the gardens and woodland beyond.

The property has been well designed and the position of the annexe works well. Benefitting from its own front door whilst still being interconnected with the main house via the utility room, the annexe offers a variety of uses. The entrance hall leads through to the spacious sitting room and the conservatory, currently used as a dining room, sits to the rear which opens onto the garden. To the front of the annexe is the kitchen. Upstairs is another generous double bedroom with fitted storage and ensuite shower room.

Externally the gardens wrap around the property adding to the feeling of seclusion. The rear garden is south facing and the borders have been planted beautifully with mature shrubs and plenty of colour. The owners have created several decked and patio areas which are perfect for 'al fresco' dining and entertaining. To the front of the plot is the driveway which can park multiple cars, a double garage with electric door and the workshop sits to the rear.

The Location:
The property has the essence of a countryside location yet is extremely accessible. The house is walking distance to Hedge End Railway Station providing direct links to London. The property is also within easy reach of the M27 allowing for easy access to surrounding cities such as Southampton, Winchester and beyond. The village centre benefits from local shops and cafes and the nearby retail park offers a wide range of shops and supermarkets.
