4 bed detached house for sale

Palmerston Street, Romsey, Hampshire SO51

Unarguably, one of Romsey's finest, most substantial detached houses. A landmark Grade II Listed home with a generous, private walled garden and extensive parking options.

Just two minutes walk from the Market Square lies Park House - an iconic home in the coveted and prestigious Palmerston Street - named after our former 19th Century Prime Minister.

The substantial house dates back to the early 19th Century and has an attractive, traditional stucco facade with a well proportioned, shallow Doric porch with two columns, fluted on the upper part, supporting a triglyph frieze ornamented with roundels and a moulded cornice. Iron railings and a handrail lead up to the doorway and iron gates provide access to the rear.

The accommodation within is equally as spectacular - each room is well proportioned with high ceilings creating a sense of great volume. Throughout are decorative hand carved items, such as the architraves with inset 'Hampshire Roses', columns and ornamental plaster coving. The staircase and fanlight window are also quite marvellous- I am unconvinced there is a finer staircase in all of Romsey.

The ground floor presents a delightful drawing room, dining room, morning room, kitchen/breakfast room, orangery and double garage. Two bedrooms and a shower room are located to the rear of the house, together with storage cupboards, with the master bedroom, family bathroom and a further bedroom to the front. A walled garden surrounds the side and rear of the property, incorporating a double garage plus an ample area for extra parking.

There is a large Cellar and notably also, a hidden internal staircase leading to the roof - from which there are almost 360 degree views over the rooftops of Romsey, and a glimpse of Romsey Abbey.

Unarguably, Park House is one of the finest properties to have come to the market for some time - viewings by appointment only.

Romsey, a delightful old market town has retained much of its original character and provides an excellent range of amenities for everyday needs. Facilities include a range of individual shops, schools, leisure facilities, doctor and dentist surgeries and public transport by way of bus and rail services.
