If you have a yearning to be a caretaker of a little bit of history this traditional terraced fisherman's cottage in Swanwick Lane could be the perfect opportunity for you.  Located just a five minute stroll from Swanwick Marina and the River Hamble weekend walks along the river bank will be a wonderful way to walk off a long lunch from one of the two pubs nearby. 

A small front garden sets you back off the road with the front door opening straight into the living room as is the way with traditional cottages.  Exposed brickwork to the chimney breast enhances the warm feel of the cottage and it would be possible to have an open fire if you wish as the chimney is still intact here. 

There are stairs off the dining area up to the first floor and it is open plan to the kitchen which is fitted with cream shaker style units and a built in oven, microwave and gas hob.  The under counter fridge and freezer are integrated for a neat look.  There is a door off the kitchen into the bathroom which is fully tiled and has space for your own washing machine too. 

At the rear of the house there is a glass roofed conservatory with double doors opening onto the rear garden.  There is a paved patio with steps leading down to the lawn with mature shrubs and a rear gate accessing the parking area.  The timber shed is ideal for storage of your sailing gear and garden furniture. 

Up on the first floor there are two bedrooms, the larger at the front has fitted wardrobes to the chimney recesses.  Bedroom two to the rear also has fitted storage and enjoys a view towards the river Hamble.  A steep staircase leads up to the loft room with a Velux window enjoying the same view.  There is lots of really useful eaves storage space up here too.   

Whilst this is an older property you won't be missing out on the mod cons, there is a modern gas central heating system from the combination boiler and UPVC double glazed windows, apart from the timber framed Velux on the top floor. 

Sorry but the landlord is not accepting children or pets here.
