Expensive garden. Bbq is 15k and sofas 20k.

It’s a very nice area, not enamoured of the kitchen, but if I had a reasonable touch on the lottery, I could go for it, and wave goodbye to the kitchen.
It’d take something attractive to drag me from central London, but this might do it.

Rotherithe is central London now?

Granted it’s not, but I can walk to Tower Bridge in 17 or 18 minutes, lots of people think of that as central London.
I spend a lot of time between Holborn and Oxford Circus, so although I live in SE London, it’s fair to say that central London is my stamping ground.

The interior really is nice. Often, a lovely house is spoilt by garish decor (yes, it’s all about personal taste, but so often on here we see an impressive house ruined by awful interior decor and fittings IMO). For me, this one is stunning both inside and outside

[Pesty]

Very nice. View in pic 5 also makes it special.

Basement and second floor too

Further to my edit about how rural it is, if you look at the satellite view on the map. I can't see how that view is possible from the house.

They've just sent a drone in to the sky (it's higher than the trees) and taken a picture.

I know it's in vogue, but the only criticism I have is there is too much grey going off. That aside it is lovely.

I'd give short odds on the formal garden being designed by Charlotte Rowe. £100k spend just there if so.

'£15k on a BBQ' I thought. I spent £70 on mine and I grimaced. So I flicked through the pictures again... 'Fuuuck, that's some serious BBQ!'

Madness. Lovely garden though.

The last couple of posted houses have both been very good spots.

Indeed the "griege" permeates everywhere!

Hemmed in with a tiny garden

That's very nicely done.
I know Romsey quite well as my late in-laws lived there.
The town itself is now a pain in the arse for traffic, even getting to Waitrose, and the pubnic transport is ste.

I'm not sure many people would call 1.2 acres 'tiny'.

I certainly don't think its a view from the house itself.

Different agent details with more pictures here

Sold for £1.1M in 2008. Then the owners embarked on a massive refurbishment job:
- attic conversion (the 3 dormer windows at the front are new)
- demolished rear lean-to buildings and greenhouse and added a new extension
- added glass atrium to adjoin to old stable block
- renovated stable block
- built double garage
- landscaped gardens
- presumably complete internal renovation / refurbishment

I doubt they got change out of £1M for all that. Makes me wonder how much originality is left.

How it looked before:

I guessing there was once a large rear garden, but was sold off some years ago and two properties built on it?

I still absolutely love it though. And it seems 'good value' to me..... (I'm only about £2,100,000 short.....)

It’s really rather lovely. I could get to work in half an hour from there which is a bonus. It will require a lottery win though sadly.
