Simon Edser, of agents Charters, said: "This is a fascinating individual house on a private plot approaching half an acre in size backing onto mature woodland.

"The open air swimming pool is a luxury touch for relaxing on sunny days  and the large roof terrace is a notable feature.

"Planning permission was previously granted for a two storey side extension that would enhance the stature of this already spacious family home."

It is close to the Sports Centre, The Common, pubs and golf courses with easy access to the centres of Southampton, Romsey and Winchester, the motorways, Parkway train station and the international airport.
