Main Residence Interior

Occupying a prime corner plot in the desirable locale of Chilworth, Southampton is Chilworth Drove- a distinguished 1.5 million-pound detached residence. An epitome of grandeur and luxury, the property is enclosed by secure electric gates, ensuring the utmost privacy and security. This remarkable dwelling unfolds over three extensive floors, each one a testament to tasteful design and refined living.

The ground floor, a perfect blend of comfort and elegance, welcomes you with a grand entrance hall, setting the tone for the superior quality found within. Located at the property's front, a dedicated study offers an ideal space for focused home working. Towards the rear, a dual-aspect sitting room basks in abundant natural light, further enhanced by the warmth of an elevated log burner. The convenience of a downstairs cloakroom proves invaluable for entertaining guests. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive kitchen and dining room, stretching the full length of the property. Featuring a breakfast bar and plentiful storage, this area serves as the hub for family gatherings and socialising. A separate utility area, accessible both from the kitchen and sitting room, offers additional practicality and leads out to the serene rear garden.

On the first floor, four well-proportioned bedrooms can be found, two of which benefit from ensuite shower rooms. A further family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Ascending to the third floor reveals a spacious, vaulted ceiling bedroom, adjacent to a bathroom adorned with a freestanding roll-top tub, introducing an element of luxury and charm.

Exterior

Externally, the property takes pride in a wraparound garden, a private haven of tranquillity and seclusion. Lush greenery, mature shrub borders and a rear patio area create a perfect space for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding amidst nature. The generous plot offers complete privacy, making it a blissful outdoor retreat. Furthermore, a large block paved driveway will comfortably home several vehicles.   

Annexe Interior

Adding to the property's appeal is a detached four-bedroom self-contained annexe. Not just an extension, but a home in itself, the annexe benefits from an integral garage for added convenience. The ground floor houses a cloakroom, utility room, a bedroom complete with an ensuite, and an open-plan kitchen-living-dining room. The kitchen is ultra-modern and leads onto a personal garden space, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living. The first floor hosts two nearly identical bedrooms, both equipped with ensuites, separated by another versatile bedroom that could serve as an ideal home office, nursery, or study.

Annexe Possibilities and Benefits

Adding a substantial layer of flexibility and potential income to the household, the detached four-bedroom self-contained annex presents a multitude of opportunities. One can easily envisage creating a boundary line to section off this part of the property, bestowing upon it a distinct identity and function that complements the main residence. For families, this annexe could serve as an excellent private dwelling for extended family members or adult children. It affords a balance of close proximity for familial interaction while maintaining a sense of independent living, privacy, and autonomy. Its full suite of rooms, including an ultra-modern kitchen and ensuite bedrooms, offers a completely self-sustained living space within the wider property confines. Alternatively, the annexe offers a lucrative prospect as an Airbnb or residential letting investment. Chilworth, being a highly desirable area in Southampton, combined with the annex's modern amenities and appealing interiors, could attract a steady stream of visitors looking for high-quality, self-contained accommodation. Renting out this space could provide a significant secondary income source.

Furthermore, the inclusion of an integral garage and the option to have a private garden space contribute to the annexe's standalone charm, making it a desirable living space for both short and long-term lets.

Benefits of the Location

The property's location is a gateway to convenience and lifestyle amenities. Access to the M3 motorway is just minutes away, enabling easy commutes, and the heart of Southampton city centre is within close proximity. A variety of local conveniences, such as the expansive Waitrose in Chandlers Ford, are at your doorstep. Furthermore, the new Village Hotel Complex, complete with spa facilities and a state-of-the-art gym, offers an exquisite blend of wellness and leisure opportunities.

The property is being offered with no forward chain, thus presenting an ideal opportunity for potential buyers seeking a swift and seamless purchase. 'Bridge House', with its luxury, location, and convenience, promises an exquisite living experience in one of Southampton's most sought-after areas.
