Nested are thrilled to present this exceptional five-bedroom detached chalet bungalow, beautifully positioned in a sought-after setting and enjoying the rare privilege of backing directly onto the picturesque Monks Brook Stream, which continues on to form part of the renowned River Itchen. Offering an outstanding combination of versatile living space, stylish presentation and a truly tranquil backdrop, this is a home that effortlessly blends modern comfort with countryside charm.

From the moment you arrive, the property makes a lasting impression.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall that sets the tone for the thoughtfully designed accommodation that lies beyond.

Bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for entertaining throughout the warmer months.

The ground floor offers exceptional flexibility, with three bedrooms comprising a generous principal suite complete with its own stylish en-suite shower room, a further spacious double bedroom, and a single bedroom that would be perfectly suited as a nursery, home office or hobbies room. A well-appointed family bathroom and practical utility room add further convenience to everyday living.

A separate study provides an inspiring space for those working from home, featuring vaulted ceilings and Velux windows that create a bright and airy atmosphere. From here, stairs rise to the first floor where two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from useful eaves storage, are complemented by a contemporary shower room.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own.

Beyond the garden, the gentle flow of Monks Brook Stream creates a stunning natural backdrop, bringing a sense of calm and connection with nature. As the water continues its journey towards the River Itchen, one of Hampshire's most celebrated chalk streams, it provides a wonderful setting for wildlife watching and enjoying the changing seasons.
