An exceptional country residence with extensive leisure amenities and beautiful gardens
Set within an exceptionally sought-after semi-rural setting, this distinguished period residence has been comprehensively restored and extended to provide in excess of 6,000 sq ft of beautifully curated accommodation, all set within approximately 1.4 acres of mature, landscaped grounds. The house presents an exemplary balance of architectural heritage and contemporary refinement, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a family home of both substance and enduring elegance.
The principal living space is centred around a remarkable open plan kitchen and dining room, conceived as the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light, this impressive space enjoys an immediate connection to the gardens, with wide bi-folding doors opening onto the terrace and framing far-reaching views across the grounds. The bespoke oak-framed kitchen is of exceptional quality, comprehensively fitted with Miele appliances, including double ovens, alongside a large Neff induction hob, extensive cabinetry and a substantial central island, creating a space equally suited to informal family life and formal entertaining.
The ground floor provides a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, arranged with careful consideration for both flow and versatility. These spaces offer flexibility for formal entertaining, relaxed day-to-day living and home working, while maintaining a strong sense of character and cohesion throughout.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors and comprises four generous double bedrooms, each with its own en suite, affording a high degree of privacy and comfort. The principal suite is particularly well appointed, incorporating an extensive dressing room with bespoke fitted storage and a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom. Additional bath and shower rooms, including a dedicated facility serving the pool complex, further enhance the practicality of the house.
A defining feature of the property is its outstanding range of leisure and ancillary accommodation. The indoor heated swimming pool, complemented by a sauna, is accompanied by a dedicated gym and a separate home office, forming a discreet yet highly functional lifestyle suite. An extensive cellar, currently arranged as a wine store, adds further depth and versatility to the accommodation. The property is well supported by a large garage and a generous driveway, providing ample parking.
The gardens are a particular feature, having been thoughtfully designed to create a sense of privacy and enclosure. Predominantly laid to lawn, with established planting and a variety of seating areas, they offer a natural extension of the living space and provide an attractive outlook from the principal rooms throughout the seasons.
Despite its tranquil setting, the property is conveniently positioned for access to Winchester, Southampton and London, offering a compelling combination of rural seclusion and connectivity.
