Knight Frank predicts tremendous interest for Riverside Home

Few properties being offered for sale in Britain at present will have more spectacular views than Parson's Plot, perched gloriously on the banks of the River Hamble in Old Bursledon and marketed for £1.65m by Knight Frank Winchester.

A modern and spacious four bedroom house, Parson's Plot boasts a set of principal rooms that all have stunning vistas over the river and marinas making it one of the most desirable waterfront properties on the south coast.

Both the large sitting room (29 x 16'6") and the master suite are dual aspect with the ground floor opening up onto the riverside gardens and the first floor bedroom boasting two balconies and a dreamy tranquil outlook.

Parson's Plot is situated in near proximity to the Jolly Sailor, one of the country's most famous pubs following the success of the 1980's yachting soap Howard's Way. Despite its peaceful and private position, it is within easy access of both Southampton and Portsmouth and the Bursledon train station, servicing both centres is just a short walk away.

Protected by electric gates, the 3,129 sq ft house is entered via an impressive hallway with wooden turned spindle balustrades encircling a centre well. All the main reception rooms lead off from the hall and all feature double doors opening up on to the decked area with a grand perspective over the river.

The garden has been landscaped over a series of terraces and leads down to the water where there is a dock to accommodate a small boat. Planning permission was also recently granted for 12m pontoon to berth a more substantial vessel.

Charlie Taylor from Knight Frank Winchester said riverside properties such as Parson's Plot were rarities in today's market.

"This is a dream property for anyone looking for a riverside oasis. It offers an idyllic lifestyle choice as well as a solid financial investment so we are expecting a good deal of interest both in the domestic market and from our overseas investors," he said.
