This dreamy home provides the ideal getaway from hectic city life. Located in the prestigious 'south of the highway' area of Southampton, it's perfect for family trips or vacations with friends. The open-plan layout of the house means you can float effortlessly between the living spaces, admiring the classic interiors with a maritime twist. Budding chefs will love the smart kitchen, which is equipped with everything you need to whip up some delicious dishes – or, you can fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast. The swimming pool provides a wonderful escape from the heat, and the kids can have fun playing on the lawn while you stretch out on a sun lounger. And, if you're feeling competitive, organise a table tennis tournament to determine the best player in the group. The golden shoreline of Little Plains Beach is just a twelve-minute walk away, or you can hop on one of the bikes provided and whizz down there in no time at all. Golf fans will be happy to know that the nearest course is just a ten-minute drive away, and those that prefer horseback riding will find the local stables are even closer. And, make sure you wander into Southampton's town centre to visit some of the cute cafés and local restaurants – the walk only takes fifteen minutes.
