Owners' Comments
\"At the weekend we love exploring the beautiful countryside on long family walks and then back home for a hearty breakfast in our lovely light and spacious kitchen diner looking at the variety of birds coming into the garden.\"
\"Timsbury is a very friendly and peaceful village with a wonderful community spirit. We are sad that the time has come to move on and will remember with great fondness our time and the friends we have made whilst we lived here.\"
Introduction
Surprisingly spacious is a description frequently used by our industry, yet it could not be more appropriate for Koringa with its modest kerbside view concealing the vast 2,500 square feet of generous living space which includes a most impressive garden room extension. Although substantial, the living accommodation is particularly versatile, large enough to accommodate the bigger family with four bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor. These could be utilised as reception space if desired. The master bedroom also features a luxury substantial ensuite shower room with dressing area whilst the kitchen breakfast room is supplemented by an extensive utility/boot room ideal for further appliances and storage space. The gardens are mature, punctuated by the quintessential shaped oak tree at the conclusion of the formal lawns which also include an array of outbuildings comprising a lengthy 36' garage and a brick built garden shed with plumbing and power. Timsbury has a vibrant community spirit with amenities including the Bear and Ragged Staff public house within easy reach as is the A3057 for commuters and excellent local schooling including Awbridge Primary School and Romsey Secondary School.
