* Three bedrooms * Two reception rooms * Kitchen * Bathroom * Garden * End-terrace * Period house

29, Wharf Hill is a wonderfully located, end of terrace house that was built in the late 19th century, as a simple up and down house for the barge workers who worked the River Itchen, just yards away. In around 2000, the simple cottage was extended into the present configuration, which sees a galley kitchen and bathroom downstairs, together with a connecting room to the front lounge. This allows for 3 bedrooms upstairs, comprising 2 doubles and a single.

Being an end terrace, the house has a very flexible side garden that runs up the lane to Matley's yard. The garden is one of the most generous on the terrace, and runs to about approximately 80 feet to the back. At present there is a small studio (with electrics, insulation and double-glazed windows) at the end of the garden, but really this is a flexible space. The house is on a fabulous walking/running route to St Catherine's Hill, but only a short walk from the city centre. The Black Boy pub and Black Rat restaurant (Michelin Star) are just a few minutes’ walk away. The beautiful River Itchen and the Weirs are only a stone's throw away. The present owners have council parking permission for Matley's Yard at the back at a reasonable cost. In addition, although the garden is fenced off from the lane at present, the rear part of the garden can be used to create the rare advantage of private, off-street parking if so desired. Permit parking is also available in Zone W.
