THE PROPERTY

A welcoming entrance hall with oak flooring and modern décor leads to a cloakroom and a part-converted double garage, now a large home gym with additional storage. The dining room connects to a bright sitting room via French doors and features a log burner fireplace. The spacious conservatory provides seamless flow to the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of modern units, granite worktops, central island, and integrated appliances. A utility and boot room offer additional storage and appliance space.

On the first-floor, a landing provides loft access via a pull-down ladder. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes, while three further bedrooms (two with wardrobes) are served by a stylish family bathroom with both large whirlpool bath and separate shower. Bedroom four includes access to a versatile loft room, ideal as a play or study area.

THE SITUATION

Hounsdown is a sought-after residential area on the edge of the New Forest, offering a blend of character homes and family residences. The location benefits from excellent transport links — including Totton mainline station with direct trains to London Waterloo, and easy access to the M27 (Junctions 2 & 3). Outstanding local schooling includes Foxhills Infant & Junior Schools and Hounsdown Secondary School, while nearby amenities include the picturesque Eling Tide Mill and Waterside area.

OUTSIDE 

To the front aspect, a generous gravel and tarmac driveway offers ample off-road parking for several vehicles, with garage doors opening to a useful storage space.

Secure side access leads through to the beautifully landscaped rear garden, offering a tranquil and private setting, with a shaped lawn, raised beds, and seating area with pergola. A large workshop runs alongside the house, complemented by a dedicated home office and a bespoke garden cabin featuring a log-burning stove, BBQ area, and heat lamp. A hot tub set to the front of the cabin is available by separate negotiation.

With the River Test on one side and acres of open forest on the other, it’s a popular choice for families, commuters and those looking to enjoy outdoor living while staying well connected. Southampton city centre is just a short drive or train ride away, and easy access to the M27 makes Totton ideal for travel across Hampshire and beyond.

There are several well-regarded schools, sports facilities, and leisure centres, plus green spaces such as Testwood Lakes Nature Reserve – a haven for walkers, birdwatchers and cyclists.

Culturally, Totton is home to the Eling Tide Mill Experience, one of the only working tide mills in the world, where visitors can see traditional milling in action and learn about the area’s industrial heritage. Nearby, Eling Quay and Goatee Beach offer lovely spots to walk and watch the tide come in along Southampton Water.
