?Why we like the property? (agent perspective)
Poised on just over one acre of beautifully established gardens, this impressive example of Victorian architecture is set within a private sanctuary, showcasing a compelling blend of period elegance and contemporary style.
Originally built in 1899 and standing as one of Romsey?s earliest homes of significance, ?HOUSTON? has been respectfully restored and immaculately presented to maintain the integrity of the home?s origins, whilst simultaneously defining a single-level floorplan that is both functional and versatile.
?What the property offers? (property perspective)
Distinctive period features unite the home, from the tallest of ceilings with elaborate cornices and roses to beautiful stained glass windows. This solid red brick residence hosts a stunning display of character from the onset, with a superb wide entrance hallway, decorative fireplaces throughout and original pressed metal ceiling in the dining room.
The exceptional scale of the floorplan allows for both formal and informal living and entertaining zones, including an expansive family room and separate casual meals area, all of which are perfectly complemented by a well-appointed timber kitchen with comprehensive cabinetry and breakfast bar.
