A beautifully presented and thoughtfully upgraded 1930's home overlooking Romsey Recreation Ground, offering four bedrooms, two en suite shower rooms, a versatile loft conversion and a delightful east-facing garden.
Featured in a UK interiors publication in June 2026, this attractive 1930's home combines period character with an extensive programme of modern improvements and is situated in a highly desirable position on Vinery Road, overlooking the open green space of Romsey Recreation Ground.
Offering approximately 1,159 sqft of well-planned accommodation arranged over three floors, the property has been thoughtfully updated to create a comfortable, energy-conscious and stylish family home. The current owners have undertaken significant improvements, including a loft conversion completed in 2024, new sash-style windows to the front elevation, replacement of all remaining windows and external doors in 2024, and enhanced insulation to the floors and walls. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and attractive hardwood flooring across all three levels further demonstrate the attention to detail invested in the property.
The property is approached via a smart, block-paved frontage with the convenience of an electric vehicle charging point. The entrance hall leads into a welcoming living room, where a traditional bay window enjoys views towards Romsey Recreation Ground and fills the space with natural light. A feature fireplace, bespoke fitted shelving and cabinetry, and attractive hardwood flooring create a warm and inviting setting, blending the charm of the property's 1930s origins with contemporary finishes.

A window above the sink provides natural light, while the practical layout offers excellent storage and preparation space. A particularly useful addition is the separate utility area, providing dedicated space for laundry appliances and additional storage, with a 1.2 m wide glazed aluminium door providing an abundaance of light and uninterrupted views of the garden. A ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.
