Set on 1.8 acres adjoining Wickham Common with Commoners Rights, this substantial detached house offers classic country living for a growing or multi-generational family. The main home provides over 2,800 sq ft of extended living space including a 23'11" dual-aspect sitting room and a solid-roof conservatory that opens to award-winning gardens. Five generous bedrooms (two with en‑suites) and multiple reception rooms give flexible living and entertaining options.
A major asset is the circa 2,700 sq ft of versatile outbuildings: workshops, garaging, stabling and a self-contained annex with a 32 ft sitting room, kitchen and shower room — ideal for au pair, older children, guests or home office use. Grounds include a tennis court, swimming pool, covered dining area and tree‑lined paddocks that create a private, park‑like setting and equestrian potential.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the house was built mid‑20th century with system-built walls and assumed lack of modern cavity insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. Heating is by LPG boiler to radiators and drainage is private via a sewage treatment plant. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average in the area. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall this property suits buyers seeking a substantial rural family home with excellent ancillary accommodation and scope for upgrading. It offers immediate comfort and substantial potential — whether improving energy performance, modernising finishes or converting further outbuildings for bespoke uses.
