6 bedroom detached house

The Red House is an attractive family home and is understood to have been built in 1975/6 in the style of a Georgian farmhouse. It is constructed of cavity walled brick elevations under a mellow clay tile roof. The exceptionally light accommodation is based over three floors and as well as being well-laid out and ideally suited for family life. The ground floor has four reception rooms including an elegant drawing room with a Jetmaster fire and large garden room overlooking the beautiful gardens. The kitchen has a good range of cupboards and integrated appliances including a double oven and an AGA.

The bedrooms in the main part of the house are arranged over two floors. The principal bedroom is of particular note with numerous fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level, then stairs leading to the second floor where a further bedroom, sitting area/study and bathroom can be found. A separate staircase leads to what is currently utilised as a guest area comprising two bedrooms, one of which is ensuite. It however could be used as an integral annexe for an au-pair or extended family. The versatile accommodation lends itself to a variety of configurations.

Electric gates lead onto the gravel drive to the front of the house with ample parking and a double garage with office above. A secondary single garage and car barn are also situated at the front of the house. The 0.94 acre garden wraps around the property with mature hedging and well stocked flower and shrub beds, there is also a separate access onto School Lane. A heated swimming pool (32ft x 16ft) lies to the south side with a paved surround and secure brick walling giving not only privacy but also shelter and is approached directly from the house and boot room.

The Red House occupies a most attractive position set back from the road within the hamlet of Headbourne Worthy, which in turn lies about two miles to the north of the cathedral city of Winchester. Within about 440ft is a first class farm shop which includes a general store, very good butcher, café and garden centre.

Winchester offers a comprehensive range of shops, restaurants and recreational facilities together with a mainline railway station service to London (Waterloo) in about an hour. There are a good selection of state and private schools in the area including Henry Beaufort, The Westgate and Kings as well as Twyford Preparatory, Pilgrims’, Prince’s Mead, King Edward’s, Winchester College, St Swithun’s and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.

The M3 lies south of the city and provides fast road access to London and the south coast connecting with the M27. The A34 links the area to the M4 and M40 motorways.
