3 bedroom terraced house

Rare to the market this cottage dating back to 1846 takes pride of place in the centre of Hook Village, a stone throw from the Hook and Warsash shoreline. Sat within a conservation area, Grade II listed and built at the start of the Victorian era this period cottage is full of quirks and charm throughout. Having been sympathetically restored by the current owners this home is now in a position ready for a new custodian to move in and unpack. Stepping through what is thought to have been the original front door into the sitting room where a firestone flooring has been discovered and brought back to life, creating a cosy and warming feeling the wood burner takes centre stage. Currently used as a work from office to the side of the sitting room this space naturally doubles up as the third bedroom on the ground floor or even a formal dining room. Through a sliding door from the sitting room, a bespoke kitchen has been fitted and holds a fantastic electric Rangemaster Cooker and butler sink with views over the rear garden. A utility room accessed from the kitchen provides plenty of storage and space for further appliances. Once an extension to the main cottage a beautiful four piece bathroom suite has been added, smartly tiled and new sanitary ware including a stunning bathtub with a separate shower makes this space one to be enjoyed. Within the pitch of the bathroom roof beams, reclaimed from ships from the Dockyard, have been exposed and keeps the heritage of this property at the forefront. Two double bedrooms are found on the first floor along with an airing cupboard, home to a new thermal store with the facility to heat water via the wood burner and further opportunity to add solar heating. Access from the kitchen door, the rear garden has been meticulously cared for and is just waiting to blossom in the Spring. A composite decking area to the rear of the house provides the perfect space for garden furniture and a BBQ to enjoy private alfresco dining. A pathway of patio leads to the lawn at the bottom of the garden. Often rare to find, this cottage comes with parking for two cars under a timber carport which also provides storage above and a lockable workshop to the rear.

Warsash is situated to the South of Locks Heath and Sarisbury Green. The village itself sits at the Eastern side of the mouth of the River Hamble which flows into the mouth of Southampton Water and the Solent. The location is closely linked to the village of Hamble which sits on the opposite side of the River Mouth. They are linked via the road bridge at Swanwick and a small foot ferry which operates during most daylight hours. Warsash merges into the hamlet of Hook to the West, and both areas are steeped in history, from ship building on the Hamble, dating back to the 15th Century to a substantial Fishing fleet in the 17th Century. During the Second World War the area provided an essential staging area for D-Day. Today the area is synonymous with its connections to the sea, mainly from a leisure perspective. The Yachting World has made an impact, with marinas and boat yards lining the nearby shores of the estuary. The properties in the area reflect this incredible history, offering some of the most varied housing stock in the South of England. There are several shopping areas in and around Warsash, offering Convenience Stores, Chemist, Art Gallery, Yacht Chandlery, Butcher, Green Grocer to name a few. Schooling in Warsash is very good and both Primary Schools feed into the local Brookfield Secondary School.
