Welcome to Dell Road! Please, come and say hello to this incredible detached residence, the original orchard house built in 1880 – if you are looking for a unique property positioned in the heart of Bitterne Park – you have now found it! This home has been lovingly restored by the current owners who have found the perfect balance between modern-day living and characterful charm. The garden is a showstopper. It was landscaped in 2020 and is now a truly beautiful and tranquil escape. Arranged over tiers, there are spots to host the perfect BBQ, the best dinner parties and there at the top sits "Dingley Heights" – an insulated summer house with power connected. The views are breathtaking and can only be truly appreciated in person. The plot to front is also fully enclosed, useable and offers off-road parking. During the restoration, the vendors made sympathetic choices towards the era of the home, replacing the windows with reminiscent of Crittall style windows, these frame the spectacular views throughout the property perfectly. The roof was replaced with gorgeous slate tiles. You are welcomed to the property via an original-style entrance porch and a beautiful stained-glass front door opening into the hall. The huge architraves are one of the first features to notice – enhancing the charm of this property. The lounge is positioned at the front with a large box bay window and a wood burner. The separate dining room is flooded with natural light from the French doors that open into the rear garden – blending indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen offers a rustic cottage feel with timeless shaker-style cabinetry. This leads into the multi-functional sun room – the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. There is space and plumbing here for your utilities. There is also a downstairs shower room. Upstairs will continue to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom – featuring a high cistern WC. The loft offers a great opportunity to convert, already fully boarded with a window to the rear. This home is offered with NO FORWARD CHAIN and viewing is strongly advised.
