The area benefits from a range of everyday facilities including shops, schools, and leisure options, making it well-suited to families and first-time buyers alike.

Nearby Totton provides a wider selection of supermarkets, cafés, and services, along with a mainline railway station offering direct links to Southampton and beyond. For commuters, there is easy access to the M27 and M271, connecting to the South Coast and further afield.

Calmore is particularly well-regarded for its proximity to the New Forest National Park, where an abundance of open spaces, woodland walks, and outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed. Southampton city centre is also within easy reach, offering extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

THE PROPERTY

Upon entering, a welcoming porch opens into a spacious hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the property. Positioned to the right is a generously sized sitting room (13’1 x 12’11), providing a cosy and inviting retreat, separate from the main living areas. To the rear, the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, perfectly designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of base and wall-mounted units, complemented by integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, double oven, dishwasher and microwave. A central island offers a practical and sociable space, ideal for informal dining or busy family mornings. Bi-fold doors open onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living during the warmer months.

Accessed from the dining area, the extension provides a highly versatile additional living space, currently arranged as a hobbies/music room with a further study or bedroom beyond. This flexible area lends itself to a variety of uses, whether as a home office, guest suite or playroom. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the first-floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, all served by a modern family bathroom.

OUTSIDE 

Externally, the property benefits from both front and rear gardens, connected via gated side access. The rear garden is designed for low maintenance, featuring a combination of artificial lawn and patio, with walled boundaries to two sides providing a good degree of privacy. A single garage is located within a nearby block, approximately 50 metres from the rear gate.
