One of Romsey’s most iconic homes enjoying the most privileged of picturesque settings over the River Test, yet still within a few moment’s stroll of the historic market town centre. The Wheel House is a beautifully restored Grade II listed residence ideally situated in a local beauty spot on the Causeway adjoining the River Test with the most breathtaking of views. The property represents local heritage, famously rebuilt by Lord Palmerston in 1748. Evident throughout are reminders of its heritage with a host of tastefully restored period features delicately fused with the luxury of modern conveniences. Offering over 1400 square feet of living accommodation, the property is generously split over four floors. Upon entry, the spacious open-plan design is immediately visible with a large dining/breakfast room linking socially into the well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen provides ample base and wall-mounted storage, a fridge/freezer and a cooker/hob. A quite remarkable toughened glass floor provides an insight into the River Test below. A decking area is positioned to the rear, overlooking the river and countryside, ideal for BBQ’s and a morning coffee. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. The first floor continues to impress with a 30’9 x 15’6 sitting room creating a cosy snug and evening retreat. The two bedrooms are located on the second and third floors, with an en-suite bathroom and family shower room serving the two bedrooms. Externally, allocated parking for two vehicles is positioned within approximately 50 metres of the front door. Lastly, the property boasts fishing rights within the immediate vicinity.
