Location:
Lockerley is a desirable Test Valley village offering an excellent array of amenities that include a village store with pop-up Post Office and coffee shop, a highly regarded primary school, Victorian Church (St John's), and a public house. The market town of Romsey is approximately seven miles distant with the nearby stations at Dunbridge and West Dean providing links to London Waterloo via Salisbury and the West Country. There are excellent road links close by via the A27 and A36 linking with the M27/M3 interchange which provides onward access to the neighbouring cities of Salisbury, Winchester and Southampton, and further on to London and the south coast.
Accommodation:
The front porch opens into the original public bar area which is now a large open-plan living area ideal for the modern family, with oak flooring and fireplaces at either end one of which has an inset wood burning stove. Adjoining this family reception area is a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room beautifully fitted with an extensive range of base units surmounted with solid composite worktops and integrated appliances to include wine cooler, dishwasher and fridge, with a door opening into the large utility/boot room with built-in freezer, generous fitted cupboard space, and a stable door to the garden.
There are three en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor plus an additional fourth bedroom/study and separate bathroom. The master bedroom is a large room with generous fitted wardrobe space and bi-folding doors providing a panoramic view of the garden, with a beautifully fitted en-suite comprising walk-in shower, stylish sanitaryware and complementary wall and floor tiling. The fourth bedroom would be ideal as a study or snug and adjacent to this room is a family bathroom, again beautifully completed with a period style suite comprising free-standing claw foot bath, washstand and high-level WC. The remaining two ground floor bedrooms are both double rooms and each has its own en-suite shower room with stylish modern fitments and complementary tiling.
The first floor is accessed via a separate entrance to the rear with stairs to a large landing area adjoining which are three good size double bedrooms, a single fourth bedroom, and a kitchenette which could either be returned to use as a bedroom or its current use continued as part of a first-floor apartment or annexe.
Outside:
Kings Arms stands towards the front right-hand corner of its gardens and grounds which extend to just over half an acre, and to which have been given as much thought and planning as the interior with careful consideration given to complement 'a traditional British establishment.' The front is laid to lawn with a picket fence boundary and near shrub borders, to the side of which is gated access to an expansive parking area with space for numerous vehicles and an EV charging point.
The rear garden has been carefully designed to complement the surrounding landscape and provide an ideal environment for recreation, relaxation and cultivation with large areas laid to lawn and borders of native grasses, shrubs and perennial plants both to support wildlife and provide year-round foliage. A culvert discreetly meanders through the garden winding its way through gravelled areas with raised beds and the large decking areas perfect for entertaining and socialising with family and friends, where al-fresco dining and barbecues will undoubtedly become a regular feature.
