Living and entertaining

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. This is a space designed to bring people together, whether for relaxed family evenings, entertaining friends or enjoying time with family over the weekend.

The contemporary kitchen is finished in high-gloss white, complemented by attractive multi-block wooden work surfaces and thoughtfully rounded unit corners. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge freezer and wine cooler. The quality Amtico wood-effect flooring flows throughout the ground floor, creating a consistent and stylish finish.

The adjoining living area features an attractive fireplace with a striking glass hearth, while patio doors open directly onto the garden. This connection between the inside and outside spaces makes the room particularly appealing during the warmer months, when entertaining can naturally extend onto the patio and garden.

Conveniently positioned off the kitchen, a separate utility room provides useful space for additional domestic appliances, helping to keep the main kitchen area uncluttered. A door leading directly to the driveway is another practical addition, particularly when bringing in shopping or managing the demands of busy family life.

A separate sitting room provides a more intimate space in which to relax, complete with its own fireplace and windows to two sides, allowing plenty of natural light.

There is also a further reception room, currently used as a home gym, offering excellent flexibility to suit individual needs. It could equally serve as a formal dining room, hobby room, playroom or an alternative bedroom, subject to any necessary requirements. This adaptability allows the house to evolve alongside changing family circumstances and personal interests.

Flexible accommodation for modern family life

The first floor offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom suite. The master bedroom benefits from a luxurious en-suite bathroom and a separate dressing area, creating a private retreat away from the main living spaces.

Bedroom three and bedroom four share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a practical arrangement for family members, while the remaining bathroom provides further convenience.

A separate first-floor study is ideal for working from home, studying or managing the day-to-day demands of a busy household.

The flexibility continues on the ground floor, where an additional room can be used as a bedroom, alongside another bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. This arrangement could be particularly valuable for multi-generational living, older children seeking greater independence, visiting relatives or guests who would benefit from their own space.

The garage and additional space

A generous driveway provides parking for approximately four vehicles and leads to a double garage, offering excellent storage and practical space for vehicles, equipment or hobbies.

Accessed internally from the rear of the garage, a further useful room above provides valuable additional space. Whether used as a home office, gym, games room, hobby room or occasional retreat away from the main house, it offers excellent flexibility to suit a variety of needs.

Combined with the versatile accommodation within the main house, this additional space makes Hideaway particularly appealing to families looking for room to grow, work from home or accommodate changing lifestyle requirements.

Gardens and outdoor space

The gardens wrap around the house and have been exceptionally well maintained, providing a variety of spaces to enjoy throughout the year.

The rear garden is a particular feature, combining privacy with open views across the adjoining fields. It is easy to imagine summer afternoons spent outdoors, children enjoying the garden or evenings entertaining friends while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The combination of the gardens, countryside outlook and generous parking gives the property a feeling of space and seclusion that is difficult to replicate in more built-up locations.

Local amenities are available in the surrounding villages, while Eastleigh and Hedge End provide a wider choice of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and leisure facilities.
