3 bed detached house for sale

Chapel Road, Meonstoke, Southampton, Hampshire SO32

Presented in excellent order throughout, this attractive three-bedroom detached home with a substantial detached double garage offers spacious, well-balanced accommodation and a wonderful blend of modern convenience with charming cottage-style features.

A bespoke oak storm porch with built-in seating creates an inviting first impression and leads into the inner hall, complete with solid wood flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. From here, doors lead to the cloakroom, study, formal sitting room and impressive kitchen/family room.

The sitting room enjoys a delightful outlook over the rear garden, with panelled glazed French doors opening onto the patio. An open fireplace with a feature stone surround and hearth forms a cosy focal point, enhancing the cottage feel within this thoughtfully designed modern home.

Extending the full depth of the property, the kitchen/family room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of country-style wall and base units, complemented by granite work surfaces and a central island. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, alongside a traditional Belfast sink. Stone flooring with underfloor heating runs through the kitchen area, while a large oil-fired Aga - also incorporating an electric oven and gas hob for summer use - provides both character and practicality. The dining area features solid oak flooring and double doors opening onto the rear garden, creating an ideal space for entertaining.

The adjoining utility room offers a sink, food larder, coat cupboard, additional storage, and space and plumbing for a washing machine, with external doors providing convenient access to both the front and rear of the property.

Upstairs, a spacious landing with a large window provides access to all rooms, an airing cupboard and a boarded loft via a pull-down ladder. The generous south-facing principal bedroom benefits from double doors opening to a Juliet balcony with delightful countryside views, along with two fitted wardrobes offering ample hanging and shelving space. There are two further bedrooms, with the second bedroom enjoying an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and drawers, as well as an en suite bathroom complete with spa bath, separate shower and bidet. A well-appointed family shower room serves the remaining accommodation.

Externally, a shared driveway leads to a generous private parking area and a substantial detached double garage with pitched roof, remote-controlled up-and-over door, power, lighting and water supply. A hardstanding area adjacent to the garage provides additional parking, ideal for a larger vehicle.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, featuring well-stocked flower beds, shrubs and small trees arranged around a central lawn. A vine-covered raised arbour creates a charming shaded seating area, perfect for outdoor dining, while a patio directly to the rear of the property is accessible from both the sitting room and family room. Further benefits include a substantial timber-built, slate-roofed garden shed, intruder alarm system, external lighting, and three outside taps - including one providing warm water - together with retractable sun shades over the French doors to both principal reception areas.

Meonstoke village has a great sense of community, with its outstanding local schools, village hall, shop / post office, tennis court and historic churches, there is always something going on. The former Meon Valley Railway is now a 21 mile track suitable for walking, cycling or horse riding and this leads from the village to West Meon in a northerly direction and the village of Wickham to the South, taking historic points along its route. Boasting one of the largest squares in the country, covering almost two acres, the charming village of Wickham combines ancient history, beautiful countryside and miles of walks and cycle rides.

There are excellent equestrian facilities in the area as well as a number of golf courses. For commuters the close proximity of Botley train station with links to London will be of particular note whilst links to the A32, A/M3 and M27 road networks are also easily accessible.
