Shore Road, Warsash, Southampton, Hampshire SO31

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally charming and truly iconic 1930s house, set on a generous plot in central Warsash, with stunning views of the River Hamble and Southampton Water. While the property requires full refurbishment throughout, it offers significant potential for expansion, subject to the necessary planning approvals.

Originally a yachtsman’s cottage, the house features striking architectural details, including elegant elevations and symmetrical design, and is set back from the road with ample parking. Upon entering, you’re welcomed by an impressive original 1930s central staircase, which remains intact. To the front, there are two spacious reception rooms, each with open fireplaces, adding warmth and character. At the rear, the large Kitchen/Breakfast Room provides plenty of space for informal dining and overlooks the garden. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, three of which are doubles, with Bedrooms one and two perfectly positioned to offer breathtaking views over the River Hamble and Southampton Water. The property also includes a bathroom and separate W/C. The rear garden is private and secluded, providing a blank canvas for landscaping or future development.

Situated in the heart of the charming village of Warsash, this home is within easy reach of local amenities, as well as excellent road and rail links. The area is known for its beautiful walks, including those through Warsash Common, Hook Park Nature Reserve, and Holly Hill Woodland Park.
