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.

Why they chose this property
Hannah and I fell in love with this property over ten years ago while it was being used as a police training venue. The listed status of the park and property, means the building has been kept to near perfection.
The area has something for everyone. A beach that delivers dramatic sunsets, barbecue sites for family gatherings, a large children's play area, cafes, bars, restaurants, traditional English pubs and several shopping locations within 15 minutes drive.
When we found out that the properties were being converted into two bedroom bungalows, we knew we just had to purchase one so we can share it with the world.
Now we finally have one, we are open for business!

What makes this property unique
The history of the building dates back to 1863 when it was an extension to the Royal Military Hospital which famously housed Florence Nightingale. There are still features of the hospital around the site with the focal point being the military chapel which has been turned into a modern museum and a cafe. Perfect for a hot coffee and a slice of cake!
For guests with a more adventurous side, this location is perfect for Kayaking, cycling, running, walking, sailing, kicking a ball with the kids, or hosting barbecues in the parks designated sites.
