4 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated in a sought after semi rural location with pleasant countryside views to both front and rear, a stunning, much loved Victorian family home which has been sympathetically extended and improved by the current owners and set in glorious, private gardens.

The property was originally constructed in 1917, and has been extended by my clients, who have resided at the property for 22 years, in 2016 and again in 2023. The result- a simply stunning family home extending to 2200 sq ft with a glorious combination of period and contemporary features, with attention to detail and care lavished on the property. As soon as you enter this glorious property you are greeted with a stunning view straight through the reception hall to the wonderful gardens beyond. The reception hall is spacious with bespoke storage cupboards; two generous reception rooms lead off this, one of which is an office (or bedroom 5 if needed) and a sitting room. The sitting room is elegant, beautifully styled, centring on a log burning stove with two large windows overlooking the rear courtyard. A particular selling feature is the spectacular live in kitchen/family/dining room; this is an impressive space, extensive in size, extending to some 28 feet in length, fitted with range of shaker style cupboards and island unit with breakfast bar, all with granite worktops. There is a ceramic sink with boiling/cold filter water tap and a range of appliances. Glazed doors and panels lead to the delightful gardens. A shower room and utility room completes the ground floor. On the first floor are four bedrooms, all of double proportions, all benefiting from countryside views. The principal bedroom suite is impressive with two large windows providing glorious views over the surrounding countryside, a dressing room and a beautifully fitted shower room. In addition, there is a further contemporary family bathroom. Outside, the property is approached via a shingle driveway providing ample parking and leading to the integral garage. Gated access leads to the rear garden; this is glorious with countryside views and offering privacy. There is a large sandstone terrace, flanked by raised flowerbeds, immediately adjacent to the rear of the property. Steps lead down to a granite chip lower terrace providing a delightful seating area under the arbours of a beach tree. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with a pathway leading to further terrace with composite decking, currently housing a hot tub (by separate negotiation). Adjacent to the hot tub area is a hot and cold water shower. The gardens are a true delight with various seating areas, including a sunset decked terrace to the far boundary. The garden is dog proof, enclosed by a mature beech hedgerows and fencing with laurels to the front boundary.

The area has a very rural feel whilst being just moments away from the A/M27 road networks. Local amenities can be found at Titchfield just over a mile away or Stubbington just 1.5 miles away whilst more comprehensive facilities can be found at Fareham, Portsmouth or Southampton. For commuters rail links can be found at Fareham or at Southampton Airport Parkway with the latter running trains to London Waterloo in just over an hour. The property is close to Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve which covers some 369 acres of the Lower Meon valley where one can enjoy a relaxing walk and see a variety of wetland habitats containing a wealth of wildlife. Beyond the haven is Hill Head beach and The Solent providing excellent sailing facilities and coastal walks.
