The Local Area

One of the key highlights of this property is the location on offer. The dwelling is situated in close proximity to the historical ruins of Netley Abbey, Westwood Woodland Park and the Royal Victoria Country Park, adding a rich cultural imprint to the living experience.

Netley is the most complete surviving abbey built by the Cistercian monks in southern England. Almost all the walls of its 13th century church still stand, together with many monastic buildings.

The Royal Victoria Country Park is in close proximity with its idyllic parkland with fabulous water views, a coffee shop and beach front access. Royal Victoria Country Park, once the home of the biggest military hospital in the Victorian Empire, this 200-acre site is now ideal for relaxation and leisure. All that remains of the hospital is the chapel, which acts as a heritage centre providing history of the hospital. It also has a 150-foot (46 m) viewing tower, providing views over the park, and across Southampton Water to Hythe, and on a clear day, as far as Southampton itself.

Schooling in the area is particularly attractive, with Netley Abbey Infant and Junior Schools being situated nearby. The Hamble School in Satchell Lane is the catchment school for 11–16-year-olds. The village is also well catered for by pre-schools and nurseries.

Netley village offers a range of local shops and a choice of public houses. Public transport is well catered for with Netley train station linking Portsmouth and Southampton and onward journey links to London Waterloo, it is also within close distance of local sailing clubs.
