Crows Nest Lane, Botley, Southampton SO32

Set behind electric wooden gates, this impressive detached five-bedroom home offers over 3,900 square feet of living space.

A third reception room, currently serving as a tranquil home office, provides additional functional flexibility. Discreetly tucked away, a stylish downstairs cloakroom and a practical utility room add to the everyday convenience.
