Private, secluded self-contained 1 bed apartment

The Apartment is a newly built self-contained one bedroom first floor apartment located in the quiet and picturesque village of Durley above the garage block beside the owners' property. The private apartment is on the first floor, accessed via an inside staircase. Durley is only 10 minutes from junction 7 of the M27, or 15 minutes from the M3 and a great central location situated roughly halfway between the cities of Southampton and Winchester yet only 30 minutes from the New Forest. The kitchen has all the basic appliances including kettle, toaster, induction hob, oven and grill, fridge/freezer and microwave. Kingsize bedroom with desk, TV, hair dryer and plenty of storage space. There is secure parking for 2 vehicles on site and cycle/boat storage is also available. Alfresco dining can be enjoyed on the patio area beneath the apartment. The bathroom is fitted with a high pressure shower, sink and WC. Toiletries are supplied. Through the front door there is a small hall with downstairs WC. A twisting staircase takes you up to the apartment on the first floor. Parking is available on the hard standing adjacent to the rear garage doors. Owners are retired so someone tends to be around all the time! There are three pubs within walking distance of the property, all of which have good food available. There are stables in the village, where you can arrange to go horse riding, which also has a cafe and hairdressers on site. Small villages such as Bishops Waltham and Fair Oak are only a few miles away. The village and local area has an abundance of walks and cycle trails for all abilities to enjoy and is very close to the South Downs National Trail (classed as an area of outstanding natural beauty). Southampton airport and Southampton Parkway railway station are approximately 15 minutes away, as is the town of Eastleigh. Hedge End retail park (McDonalds, Pizza Hut, M&S, Sainsburys, TKMaxx/Homesense etc is about 10 minutes away, as is the Ageas Bowl (home to Hampshire cricket). Unfortunately we are not within walking distance of shops.
