Scenic walking routes, welcoming cafés, and local eateries are all close by, making it easy to enjoy relaxed weekends and evening strolls. The charming village of Hamble is also within easy reach via the much-loved pink ferry, adding to the unique appeal of the area.
Commuters and travellers will appreciate the excellent transport links, with quick access to the A27 and M27, as well as nearby Bursledon train station.

The main bedroom is generously sized and features a modern en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom is served by a separate contemporary shower room — ideal for guests, sharers, or those working from home.
The bright open-plan living area is a real highlight, filled with natural light from multiple windows and opening onto a large private balcony. This creates a wonderful space for relaxing, working, or entertaining, especially during warmer months when the indoor and outdoor areas flow together beautifully. The stylish kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances including an oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, and washer/dryer, making everyday living easy and convenient.
