2 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION

A particularly attractive semi-detached Victorian cottage with brick elevations featuring decorative dog tooth banding and rubbed brick arches over some of the windows and doorways standing in a plot of approaching one third of an acre with a large attractively landscaped garden enjoying views over the adjoining farmland.  The accommodation is extremely well-presented and has been tastefully extended and modernised by the present vendor.  There is also the benefit of plenty of off-road parking and a detached garage with light and power.

LOCATION

The property is rurally situated on the northern edge of Lockerley which has a local store, garage, primary school, church and village hall, with a railway station at nearby Dunbridge.  The Abbey town of Romsey, approximately six miles away, provides a comprehensive range of shopping, educational (state and private schools) and recreational facilities, as well as a railway station. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are within 25 minutes’ drive.  There is also good access to the M27 and Southampton as well as the New Forest and South Coast.
