Iliad has origins dating back to the late 1960’s and on entering the house the hallmarks of this era are immediately apparent with generous accommodation and a feeling of light throughout the house. The hallway features the original parquet floor and the reception rooms lead off this space; the Sitting Room is triple aspect filling the room with light and is of generous proportions making it a lovely space in which to entertain and relax; double doors lead into an intimate Reading Room and further doors lead outside to both the front and back. Leading off this room is an equally generous Study featuring a large picture window and a bank of fitted shelves. The Dining Room is positioned in the centre of the house with the Kitchen adjacent; the Kitchen itself has been fitted with ample cupboards by Poggenpohl with granite worktops and a range of appliances are included. A Utility Room and a Cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs there are four really big double bedrooms and Bedroom 1 benefits from a walk in dressing room, an ensuite bathroom and a fantastic balcony on which to relax and enjoy the gorgeous views over the nature reserve and the water beyond. The other bedrooms are complimented by a large Family Bathroom.

The garden to the rear features a large terrace spanning the width of the house with a large stretch of lawn flanked on both sides with mature hedging and trees; there is a greenhouse tucked in one corner.

Hook Park is just one mile from the village of Warsash and forms a spit which is home to the Hook Park Nature Reserve. This beautiful nature reserve has one of the most diverse woodland, wetland habitats and grazing pastures in the region and forms a shingle shore and intertidal flats that run along the edge of Southampton Water; these can all be enjoyed a short stroll from Iliad with footpaths leading through the reserve to the shore. From the shore you can walk along the coastal path into the village of Warsash with its extensive amenities and catch the quick access over the River Hamble on the pedestrian ferry into Hamble village with its numerous eateries and pubs.
