Ower, Romsey

Location:
Ower is a small hamlet just four miles south of the market town of Romsey and on the fringes of the world famous New Forest National Park.  Nearby is access onto Junction 2 of the M27 which links with the M3 for London, Winchester and Southampton, and the A31 for the South Coast and the West Country whilst the A36 gives direct access to Salisbury, Bath and Bristol.  There are two excellent dining pubs close by with the neighbouring village of West Wellow offering a good range of local amenities for day-to-day necessities.  The historic town of Romsey, standing on the River Test and with its iconic Norman Abbey as a centrepiece, offers a more comprehensive choice of shopping and dining venues including a Waitrose superstore and Bradbeers independent department store.  For families, there are excellent schools nearby in both the public and private sectors.

The welcoming reception hallway provides access to the family/garden room, snug and first floor, with an attractive open fireplace creating a warm and inviting first impression.  The generous sitting room features double doors opening to the front of the property, while the adjoining dining room is a particularly impressive space, enjoying a stunning vaulted ceiling with skylights and doors opening directly onto the side gardens.

A step leads through to the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, which has been fitted with a range of handmade cupboards and drawers, granite work surfaces, a butler sink, AGA, integrated Bosch dishwasher and a central island, creating an excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining.  The adjoining utility area provides space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer, with a door leading to the rear garden and access to the downstairs cloakroom.

A superb addition to the home, the family/garden room is a light and versatile space, featuring a vaulted ceiling with skylights and five-pane bi-folding doors that open onto the gardens. Currently utilised as a home office, this wonderful room could equally lend itself to use as a second sitting room, reading room, playroom or entertaining space.
