Victoria Road, Netley Abbey, Southampton, SO31

Nestled in the heart of Netley Abbey, in close proximity to Royal Victoria Country Park, the waterfront and the historical Netley Abbey ruins, this beautiful four-bedroom terraced period property (circa 1856) has been tastefully modernised by the current owner to offer flexible, contemporary living, whilst still maintaining various original features. Arranged over two floors, the ground floor comprises of an entrance hallway, two reception rooms, a large kitchen/family room, utility room and a bathroom. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, a further bathroom, and a walk-in wardrobe, which offers potential for re-modelling into an en-suite bathroom. Externally, to the front of the property there is a driveway providing off road parking. There is an enclosed garden and terrace to the rear.

Netley Abbey is the most complete surviving abbey built by the Cistercian monks in southern England. Almost all the walls of its 13th century church still stand, together with many monastic buildings.

Royal Victoria Country Park was once the home of the biggest military hospital in the Victorian Empire, this 200 acre site is now ideal for relaxation and leisure. All that remains of the hospital is the chapel, which acts as a heritage centre providing history of the hospital. It also has a 150-foot (46 m) viewing tower, providing views over the park, and across Southampton Water to Hythe, and on a clear day, as far as Southampton itself.

Netley village offers a range of local shops and a choice of public houses. Public transport is well catered for with Netley train station linking Portsmouth and Southampton and onward journey links to London Waterloo.
