A capacious Victorian detached house set on almost three quarters of an acre, this 1890 period home blends authentic character with flexible family living. Four reception rooms, a study, conservatory and a bespoke kitchen create generous day-to-day space, while five bedrooms and a loft room (permanent staircase) offer options for a growing family or home working. A large cellar and garage add practical storage and scope for conversion (STPP).
The gardens and terrace are a standout: mature trees, expansive rural views and a tranquil setting at the end of an unmade lane provide real privacy and countryside appeal. Practical services include mains water and electricity, oil-fired boiler with radiators, and private drainage. Mobile signal is excellent; broadband is very slow, so plan for connectivity upgrades if needed.
Key things to note: the house has timber-frame walls as originally constructed and is assumed to lack cavity insulation — there is potential for fabric and energy-efficiency improvements. Council Tax band G means higher running costs. The property offers renovation potential (garage, loft, insulation) rather than being a low-maintenance modern home.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial period house in a peaceful rural location with space to adapt and improve; it will particularly appeal to families wanting excellent local schools and scenic Hampshire countryside on their doorstep.
