Solent Court was constructed in the 1960's by the owners of the 19th century Fish House, who divided that property into two separate houses. For themselves they retained and extended the part nearest to the paddocks, stables, and barn, which they named Solent Court. The property has undergone further adaptations over the years to create a very versatile family home and can be configured many ways to meet the demands of a growing family.
This captivating home is situated on expansive grounds spanning approx. 2.23 acres, complete with equestrian facilities and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. This beautiful Victorian residence boasts nearly 5000 square feet of living accommodation, including five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house. There are many equestrian rides and country walks right outside the door.
On approach stand-out electric gates lead you through to a block paved driveway which is bordered by mature hedgerows and there are additional parking bays for several vehicles, ensuring plenty of secure off road parking. This private access opens out to the front of the home and garage, as well as providing exclusive access to the secure paddock. A substantial outbuilding can also be found here, at over 47 feet it serves as a fantastic outdoor store ideal for equipment, food and hay.
The driveway further reveals a well established equine stable block, featuring three stables and a tack room.
In addition, the converted barn makes for a stunning annexe offering further living facilities, ideal for multi-generational living or as a potential for commercial / private income. This barn features a living room which opens to the fully integrated kitchen, as well as a bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Treasured by the current owners for over thirty years, this family home has been carefully maintained and enhanced. In the main house, the ground floor boasts three reception rooms and a designated study. The kitchen along with the conservatory offer a spacious, open plan family room. The kitchen benefits from an extensive range of oak cabinetry and integrated appliances, with the bonus of an additional utility / pantry space for the utmost of convenience ensuring the home is kept clutter free. The conservatory offers a wonderful outlook over the formal gardens and the expansive paddocks beyond. The idyllic spot for relaxation, family dining or entertaining guests. Downstairs you will also find a formal sitting room, and two further reception rooms which can also be configured as additional bedrooms, one of which is currently set up as a gym and benefits from the use of a 'Jack and Jill' wet room.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms can be found, two of which are fitted with bespoke wardrobes with plenty of hanging and shelving space. A large four piece family bathroom and an additional shower room complete the generous and comfortable living spaces.
The formal gardens have been equally meticulously maintained. The gardens are fully landscaped, mainly laid to lawn, featuring mature trees and borders adorned with shrubs and flowers. The substantial paved terrace envelops the rear of the home, providing multiple seating areas as well as a hot tub. An attractive summer house with power becomes another quaint area to enjoy these beautiful grounds.
Beyond the formal gardens, there is ample space for yearly turnout on well drained paddocks with field shelter and a well lit and powered wash off area. There is plenty of scope of further development for a well lit schooling arena and additional stables subject to planning permission. From here, direct access to extensive bridlepaths leading to Meon shore beaches, Chilling and Brownwich, putting this property in prime location for equestrian enthusiasts.
