Sedgemead, Netley Abbey, SO31

INTRODUCTION

A truly stunning family home with views across Southampton water and only a short stroll from the Royal Victoria Country Park. The property comes with approximately 3,200sq ft of accommodation including a stylish, thoughtfully designed adjoining annexe which would be ideal for extended family, elderly parents or an additional rental income.

The current owners commented; "We loved this house from the start. When we first arrived, we had a sense of being in a holiday home filled with space and light and the constant sights, sounds and smell of the sea. This feeling has never left us".

Due to both the property's flexibility, its wonderful location and the overall accommodation on offer, an early viewing comes highly recommended as the property is certainly expected to generate a healthy level of interest.
