Bassett, Southampton

Occupying an established plot approaching one quarter of an acre, this impressive detached family home offers particularly generous accommodation with very well proportioned rooms throughout.  The impressive sitting room is complemented by a separate dining room both of which have the advantage of working open fires.  In addition there is a separate study and ground floor cloakroom.  Undoubtedly one of the property's outstanding features is the thoughtfully appointed kitchen featuring a central island with granite work surfaces and is open plan to a large garden room which has the advantage of bi-fold doors leading to a substantial decked area ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining.  The first floor continues to impress with four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from a separate shower as well as a large family bathroom with claw foot roll top bath and separate shower.  In addition to the accommodation offered by the main house is a large and comprehensive annexe facility which includes a bedroom, separate shower room, a large open plan kitchen/sitting room flooded with natural light due to the conservatory style construction at the very rear which also offers views over the rear garden.  Undoubtedly one of the property's primary features are the gardens which enjoy a southerly and westerly aspect and there is parking for multiple vehicles to the front elevation.  Due to the combination of features and popular position of this quiet no-though road in the heart of Bassett early viewings are recommended.
