An elegant Grade II listed Georgian manor set within around four acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in the sought-after village of Holybourne. The house combines original character—sash windows, oak beams, fireplaces and a vaulted 16th-century wine cellar—with generously proportioned modern living spaces across almost 8,000 sq ft, ideal for a large or growing family.
The plot is a major asset: formal lawns, mature borders, water features and about two acres of wildflower meadow lead to far-reaching Hampshire countryside views. A separate stone and brick outbuilding includes a 42 ft party barn/theatre, library with first-floor office, gardeners’ facilities and a three-bay garage — offering versatile spaces for entertaining, home-working or ancillary uses.
Practical strengths include underfloor heating on the ground floor, double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and excellent broadband and mobile signal. There is scope to reconfigure attic rooms into additional accommodation (subject to listed-building and planning approvals), giving further potential to tailor the house to modern family needs.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and require specialist consent and maintenance, which can be time-consuming and costly. The EPC rating is E, so energy performance and running costs may be higher than newer homes. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a distinctive, character-rich country home for buyers seeking a generous private estate with significant period charm and flexible outbuildings.
