Set on a coveted Romsey road and under a mile from the town centre, this detached three-bedroom bungalow sits on roughly one-fifth of an acre and offers generous single-storey living. The layout centres on a welcoming sitting/dining room with a feature log burner, a bespoke handmade wood kitchen with breakfast area, and a large conservatory fitted with an insulated polycarbonate solid roof for year-round use. A rear extension provides an additional double bedroom with WC and useful rear porch, increasing flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
Outside, the plot is a standout: extensive lawns, a garage, workshop, multiple sheds and a quirky shepherd’s hut add character and practicality. The wide driveway provides parking for several vehicles and space for a caravan, campervan or boat. Subject to planning (STPP), there is clear scope for a substantial extension or an additional dwelling, offering appeal to buyers seeking to add value.
The property’s age and construction warrant straightforward transparency. Built between the 1930s–1940s with cavity walls reported as having no insulation (assumed), it may benefit from modernisation and improved thermal efficiency. There is one family bathroom plus a separate WC only, and the house will appeal most to buyers comfortable with updating rather than those wanting a fully modern, turn-key home. Council Tax Band E should be noted.
Overall this freehold bungalow will suit families or downsizers seeking generous, single-level accommodation on a large plot in a desirable Romsey location. It combines period character and practical outbuildings with clear potential for improvement and extension, offering both an immediate comfortable home and future upside for buyers prepared to invest.
