This absolutely beautiful 7-bedroom family home for rent in Romsey offers the perfect blend of character, location and chic-functionality. As tenants of this stunning property, you will feel like you have stepped into the pages of a romantic novel but with all the amenities you could ever need right on your doorstep.
Set in the heart of popular Romsey, our property of the month enjoys an ideal location with direct views of the Abbey to the rear, but the cafes, restaurants and shops of Market Square to the front. Once you have parked in either the double garage or one of four parking spaces, step through the front door and try not to gasp: the first sitting room/entrance hall to greet you is breathtakingly grand.
Tiled floors, a lofty ceiling, feature windows and an open fireplace set the tone for the whole property, and you cannot resit exploring further.
Walking past the useful WC, and stairs down to the basement, you enter the next sitting room, with columns, chandeliers and opulent décor adding to the sense of splendour. This is the perfect place to relax in the evening, in front of yet another open fireplace, with a book or your favourite programme on TV.
Next, the large yet functional and striking kitchen awaits, whether you are preparing a quick supper or feast for family and friends. Bright and airy, any chef would fall in love with this room complete with island, granite worktops, integrated appliances, Belfast sink and electric Aga. Set up a table and chairs in this room for breakfasts and casual meals, and enjoy the feature windows and doors to the garden.
Moving through to the final sitting room, which could also be used as a dining room, guests will be wowed by the floor-to-ceiling windows and door, giving a fantastic view of the beautiful formal gardens. The same chic and impressive décor is the theme here, with large floor tiles, columns and a central light fitting for a chandelier.
From here, an undercover walkway leads to a WC, stunning conservatory, and the first of two utility rooms. The conservatory is a glorious, sun-drenched space in which to relax. Sit here with a coffee and enjoy a moment of tranquillity as you look out over the lush gardens and Abbey beyond.
Now turning our attention to the first floor, accessed via a dramatic and sweeping staircase, you will be greeted by a spacious landing from which you can choose to enter four luxurious bedrooms; a WC with fitted storage; or the second utility room of the property. Bedroom 2 also enjoys its own shower en-suite.
As you would expect by now, all the rooms have dreamily high ceilings and could easily be the setting for a period drama, such is their opulence and elegance.
Continuing up that impressive staircase, you reach the second floor: home to the principal suite; two further bedrooms; and a family bathroom. The principal suite, set at the rear of the property overlooking the garden, boasts its own en-suite bathroom with fireplace; separate WC; steam room; and dressing room. This is the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate or prepare for the day ahead.
Outside, the rear of the property is an oasis of calm with the Abbey as its backdrop. An immaculately manicured walled garden, large patio for al-fresco dining and even a convenient dog-washing area together create the perfect space to relax and enjoy time with family.
Out the front door and into Market Place, you are immediately in the heart of historic Romsey. King John’s House and Museum, a central statue of Lord Palmerston and a wide selection of cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops await you. On the weekly market days, a fantastic assortment of stalls appear to peruse at your leisure.
Small supermarkets for daily essentials and large stores for the weekly shop are all within an easy walking distance of your front door. Romsey also offers all the other amenities you could need including a doctors’ surgery, post office, sports facilities, playgrounds and parks.
