Set on the edge of the South Downs National Park, this five-bedroom detached house offers flexible family living across four storeys. The ground floor’s open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining areas flow to a raised decked terrace, creating an easy indoor–outdoor layout for daily life and entertaining. A lower-ground games/cinema room and wine cellar add practical space for hobbies or conversion (plumbing already in place). The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and built-in wardrobes; two further double bedrooms occupy the second floor.
Practical details suit a rural lifestyle: a block-paved driveway provides multiple parking spaces and access to a single garage, and the private rear garden is neatly landscaped. The home was built in the late 1990s/early 2000s with cavity brick walls and double glazing. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are low, while Upham village amenities and strong road links (A34, M3, M27) place Winchester and Southampton within easy reach.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward: heating is oil-fired (no mains gas to the area) and drainage is via a cess pit, both of which affect running costs and maintenance. Broadband and mobile coverage are average, so streaming or home-working may need verification for your provider. Council tax is described as expensive. The property is in good order visually, but some buyers may want to modernise specific rooms or convert the cellar plumbing into an additional bathroom.
This home will suit families wanting space and countryside views with convenient commuter links, or buyers seeking a spacious village residence with room for adaptation. Its position in the South Downs and proximity to excellent schools make it particularly attractive for those prioritising rural schools, outdoor access and family amenities.
