Having been modernised and refurbished throughout, and benefitting from reassuring safety features, this modern apartment is offered with no forward chain and a contribution to the lease extension subject to offer level.
LOCATION:
Homemead House is discreetly positioned along Middlebridge Street, an iconic and historic road where you will find some of Romsey's oldest homes. A short walk away is the town centre which has a strong sense of community, culture and history - the centrepiece of which is the magnificent Norman Abbey - complemented by an array of coffee houses, tearooms, bars and restaurants along with a Waitrose superstore and an eclectic mix of boutique style shops, independent retailers and familiar High Street brands. Bus and train stations provide direct links to Winchester, Salisbury and Southampton, whilst the nearby M3/M27 interchange provides onward access to London and the south coast.
ACCOMMODATION:
Access into Homemead House is via a secure entry system that opens into a welcoming reception area, just off which are the laundry room, stairs and passenger lift to the upper floors, guest overnight suite and Manager's office. The Manager, naturally, is friendly and approachable and on-site weekdays to provide help and assistance. Just along from the reception area is the well-appointed residents' lounge with kitchenette, a valued hub for making friends and joining in with organised activities and social gatherings.
The apartment itself has its own entrance hall with doors to the sitting room, bedroom and kitchen, and which also has a large airing and storage cupboard. The pleasant sitting room has a full-length window and adjoining door allowing natural light to flood in and provide direct access into the landscaped residents' gardens. An archway opens into the professionally designed and modern fitted kitchen which has an excellent range of contemporary wall and base units surmounted with solid worktops and complementary tiled surrounds. Integrated appliances include electric oven and hob with extractor over and dishwasher, and there is space to stand a fridge/freezer. The double bedroom has a useful built-in double wardrobe with attractive re-fitted full height sliding mirror doors, and there is a recently installed wet-room, perfect for the safety-conscious, with easy access shower, pedestal wash basin, low-level WC, and complementary tiling.
