Character 1863 Victorian home w/private garden; Located in Royal Park near beach

Osbourne Quarters is the home to our private bungalow and is located in the heart of the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley, Southampton. The park contains 200 acres of mature woodland and grassy parkland acting as a garden to the bungalow.

The Royal Victoria Country Park is a 25 minute drive from Southampton airport and 7 minutes drive from Junction 8 on the M27. It is also within walking distance of Hamble Village which hosts a number of traditional pubs, shops and cafe’s. If sailing takes your fancy, there are several sailing clubs in the area making it a perfect location to enjoy the festivities of Cowes week. With Netley train station also being only 10 minutes walk, it makes Osborne Quarters extremely accessible.

The plot was originally built in 1863 as an extension to the Netley Military Hospital where injured soldiers were brought back from the war to recover. The train tracks can still be seen to this day with displays around the park indicating what it was once like.

In 2020, the bungalows were renovated and turned into unique two bedroom homes that will comfortably sleep 4. You will have access to a private garden and patio area perfect for family barbecues .  Due to its listed status, the outside is maintained to near perfection, with the inside feeling modern and homely. The garden is spacious and suitable for families of all ages.
