Soke House is a rare Grade II listed town house dating from the 16th century, tucked just off Broad Street in central Alresford. The house keeps original character throughout — exposed oak beams, period fireplaces and sash windows — while offering substantial accommodation over three floors plus cellar and storage. Its position places shops, cafés and local schools within easy walking distance and gives quick access to the South Downs and Winchester.
Internally the layout suits a family or someone wanting a large historic home: sitting room with wood-burning stove, separate dining room, kitchen with bespoke units, study, five bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and dressing room. The rear garden is private and peaceful with a path to a greenhouse and gate leading toward the millstream. Two off-street parking spaces are included via long leases a short walk away.
Important practical points are straightforward: the main house is freehold but the parking spaces are held on 99-year leases (93 years remaining) with a small ground rent (£25pa) and a service charge to be confirmed. Listed status preserves the historic fabric but will restrict alterations and can increase repair costs. Council Tax is in a high band. Buyers should be comfortable with historic-property maintenance and listed-building consent processes.
For buyers seeking historic character in a prime small-town location, Soke House delivers considerable space and charm with long-term potential. It will particularly suit a family who values character, central convenience and proximity to countryside, or a purchaser prepared to manage a listed property’s ongoing upkeep and consents.
