Westfield Common, Hamble, Southampton, Hampshire, SO31

A spacious three bedroom, two bathroom apartment within historic Grade II listed Hamble Cliff House. Set in beautiful gated grounds overlooking Southampton Water with tennis court, allocated parking and private storage room. Share of the freehold.

Hamble Cliff House is an impressive Grade II listed mansion dating back to approximately 1809, originally built for diplomat Sir Arthur Paget and occupying a wonderful elevated position overlooking Southampton Water. Rich in history and character, the building was sympathetically converted into private apartments during the 1980s, retaining many of its original architectural features whilst creating spacious individual homes within this rather special setting.

Approached along a private driveway and through a gated entrance, the impressive Gothic-style mansion, surrounded by extensive communal grounds. The apartment itself offers over 1,000 sq ft of well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a particularly generous living/dining room.

The apartment opens into a spacious central hallway with useful built-in storage and doors leading to each of the principal rooms.

The living/dining room is an impressive reception space, extending to almost 24ft in length and providing plenty of room for both comfortable seating and a full-size dining table. French doors open directly outside, creating a lovely connection with the private terrace and communal grounds.

The separate kitchen measures approximately 15ft and is fitted with an extensive range units, providing plenty of worktop and storage space together and breakfast bar.

There are three bedrooms, giving the apartment considerable flexibility. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous room measuring approximately 15ft x 14ft, with extensive fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is another comfortable double with built-in storage, whilst bedroom three is currently arranged as a study and would work equally well as a guest bedroom or dedicated home office.

A separate family bathroom, fitted with a bath, WC and wash hand basin, completes the accommodation.

The communal grounds are undoubtedly one of the defining features of Hamble Cliff House. Beautifully established and providing a wonderful feeling of space and privacy, they enjoy far-reaching views across Southampton Water and provide a particularly attractive environment for residents to enjoy.

Within the grounds there is also a communal tennis court and barbecue area, whilst the apartment benefits from allocated parking together with additional visitor parking.

A particularly useful additional feature is the apartment's private lockable storage room which benefits from both power and lighting and provides valuable space for bikes, sailing equipment and other belongings.
